Hi!

Question about flip flop hub again, because doesnt matter how much i look for i cannot find any useful feedback/info about Sturmey Archer non geared flip flop fixed/freewheel hub. (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-Sturmey-Archer-Flip-Flop-Fixed-Free-Hub-TRACK-FIXED-black-or-silver-/190733547388?pt=UK_sportsleisure_cycling_bikeparts_SR&var=&hash=item2c689af77c)

So just few questions:

1.Does anyone own them and can give short opinion how good are they?
1. Are they same formula hubs just differently branded like system ex on-one and etc? Or they as being sturmey archer are higher quality hubs?
2. Next on a list is dia compe track hubs which is another 10 quids more expensive. How sturmey archer are compared to these?
3. Are they all same shit and i just pay extra price depending on brand i choose?
Thank you very much!

The SA hub you linked to is 130mm oln. Was that intentional?

yes, my dropouts is spaced 130, but you can notice in picture there are just washers added to space it up to 130.

Yeah, I was going to comment on the strange washer setup and say it'd put me off those SA hubs but then noticed it was 130 oln.

On one hubs are half the price and pretty reliable
Dunno if the axels are long enough to space out to 130mm with washers but it's worth havin a measure . On one axel is 163mm long

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot
