For Sale: Drum brake hubs and wheel

Anyone into drum brakes?

I bought a job lot off retrobike thinking I had a use for it all but turns out I used disc brakes instead.

There is:
A 26" front wheel, single wall rim on a Sturmey hub, never used and it'll come with a brand new cable assembly, you'll just need a clamp to attach the torque arm to your fork leg.

A Sturmey XRD3 rear hub. 36h 3 speed. This is just the hub, no fitting parts like cable, barrel adjuster, indicator rid etc.

A Sturmey AW 3 speed hub (no brake). Stamped with '79'. Really smooth and clean and shiny. Again though, no indicator rod of anything.

Finally a Gazelle front drum brake hub. 36 hole again. Uses a standard brake cable and has a bolt on nipple for the end. This is the smoothest spinning hub I've ever felt.

I bought all that (apart from the front cable assembly, that was another £6) plus a frame for £50. I've already sold the frame for £25 so if someone local would like to take the rest of the stuff off my hands you can have it all for £25.

Will get some pics up if there's interest.

I fancied a 3 speed hub for the sake of understanding it's internals, the Aw3 sounds like a good candidate.
Ill pm you.

Hi
Been wanting to build a 3sp drum brake wheel for a while, would like the xrd3 if i can be sure it can be worked! Is there a toggle chain thingy hanging out of the axle?

There's not. I have s Sachs 3 speed on a bike which has an indicator rod/chain that I might be able to use to check if the threads match. Or since its you I could send you the hub to inspect and you can pay if you're happy/return if not going by the outward appearance of it I doubt there'll be anything wrong with the insides

Sounds good. Let's pm.
