Great Video...Thank you...I have a 68 Raleigh Superbe...the gears always need adjusting...especially getting to 1st gear

[@FSCforal]

Just did mine on my eletric trike from 1968 😂many test drives but this video still helped

[@YourFavoriteCyclist]

It definitely can take some time, once its dialed in its golden!

[@peterbedford2610]

As a kid, I'd use a spoke to set the hub in second gear. Spoke thread is the same the sturmey thread. Just screw it in and find second gear, then bend the spoke to keep it in that gear

Thank you for the very clear video. Now I understand what's happening in the adjustment process. Unfortunately, I found out that my cable is still really slack and doesn't shift at all. So now I think I need a video on replacing or shortening a cable that might be stretched after years of use! You got one of those coming?

[@donavonbebo7906]

Me too!

[@KevBautista]

Thanks for the video. I'm wondering why this SA hub is not as clicky as the one on my Brompton? Mine is as chatty as it can be to a level that I'm looking to replace it with a an external hub.

[@PaulWhitcomb-ty6md]

Why are you yelling at me?

[@donavonbebo7906]

I need the part that screws into the the cable actuator how or where can I find this piece? I have a SA 5 speed hub. Thanks!

I recently picked up a '67 Schwinn Deluxe Racer with the 3 speed Sturmey. This type of hub is pretty new to me and I was curious, are they SUPPOSED to click while pedaling or is there something wrong with mine? Also, I notice it has a lubricant access plug. What do you use to lube them? I appreciate any help you can provide, thank you.

[@kwakagreg]

yes there are pawls that get overidden and you can sometimes hear them quite normal. just use any good light oil say SAE30 wouldn't go any thicker needs about two teaspoons when filling from new but don't worry if you have too much. better than not enough. The gears are oil lubricated by the oil sloshing about. make sure you seal the filler or it will all run out and splash every where as you ride.

Kindly tell where to get a new 3 speed student archer hub.

[@YourFavoriteCyclist]

www.sturmey-archer.com/en/products/3-speed Match up your current hub to the ones on their list, then search the model number on amazon/google

[@CaryApolis]

I thought you were NOT supposed to be pedaling when changing gears on a Sturmey-Archer? But it is ok for the wheels to be turning/coasting.

[@VJIX]

Great video!!

[@earlhorecky3050]

“Don’t like to shift unless you are fully pedaling”? U realize it won’t shift if you’re pedaling?

[@thomasharlos6872]

Thats what I found. It would only shift when I did not pedal.

Ни хуя не понятно, но примерно понял, спс братан

[@tommcguire5525]

stop shouting there is no need

[@jonowens460]

Too enthused... can't dig that in humans

[@eddymasselink8916]
