Wanted: 700c hub gear system

Posted on
  • edit: title should read 700c rear wheel wanted with hub gears

    I have a frame that takes 700c wheels that has previously been single speed that I would like to change to have a hub gear.

    I'd like to get an already built up rear wheel second hand, if possible.

    Probably a sturmey archer 3 speed, as it's an old frame, but also could be anything (nexus, newer sturmey, i don't know) as it might end up being a case of trying it out and then deciding if it is the way to go.

    don't know much about hub gears so i would like to be able to slot it in as easily as possible, preferably it'd have a lever too...

    Thank you - ideas and alternative suggestions welcome.

  • I have a Nexus one, I think 4 gears, I will have a look

  • speak the ones with the horn of plenty

  • thanks rik

  • Ok, 700c wheel, normal rim, maybe some kind or Rigida laced to Nexus, 4 speed.
    the thingy to chage is in one together in one piece with the brake lever, and it is like in a motorcycle, you have to twist you hand forwards or backwards to change gear.
    you could probably use a thumb shifter, much more simple and give you the chance to use your onw brake lever.
    let me know if any good

  • sounds good - how much £$ / how old / what condition?

    does it have a brake or is it just the geared hub?

  • condition, good, use what not abuse
    it is only geared
    how old, dunno, looks very moderm, maybe 3 or 4 yeards old?
    moneis... dunno really, make me and offer
