Hi guys,
I am trying to fix up my cousins Raleigh ladies bike with a three speed Sturmey Archer hub.
It won't shift down or up smoothly at all using the 3 speed shifter.
I have actually broken two brand new shifters already because as you use the shifter to change gear the cable doesn't seem to move and you end up breaking the shifter.
Do I need to buy a special cable outer/housing that enables it move smoothly?
I have already got a brand new sturmey archer cable, a brand new shifter and some new normal shift cable housing.
Please help?? Driving me nutso
Cheers
