hey
so i've got an old raleigh dawn roadster (bought on here) which was running smoothly until about the gears no longer worked. As I dont mind using one gear I left it and it had been working fine. Few days ago however it made some gruesome noises and packed in. Brought it to my local bike shop and they tell me the sturmey archer hub is bust. A hub is hard to get hold of and would require building it to the wheel at a cost of around £100+. So the cheapest option ended up being buying a new wheel with a single freewheel cog - £65.
Question for you... is this my best option? Does anyone maybe have a complete raleigh 26" wheel with 3speed hub for sale?! Are the prices reasonable?
appreciate your advice!!!!!
