How to take care of your Sturmey Archer internal gear hub? Bike servicing and maintenance.

[@clee6746]

The hub is known to be noisy even when it's new.

您可以仔细听一下，它伴有震动和卡顿声，这不是正常的声音，如果没有震动就OK，震动是轴承已经出现磨损造成的，视频这个车是一位聋哑朋友，声音她听不到，是发现震动后才拿来做检查的，打开后轴承已经生锈，到后来更换轴承后才解决了问题，感谢您的评论，大家一起交流学习

@@chenliao585 Thanks for your comment. I'll keep an eye on the hub for vibration as the bike gets older. Nice video you made showing how to do maintenance on the hub in detail.

@@chenliao585 are there any ways to just seal it up so water never goes in?

No ordinary people can do this servicing....leave it to professional like Liaoge to take charge ......thanks for sharing ......Btw Liaoge speaks excellent Mandarin .....Is a pleasure to hear his conversation even though I am not able to comprehend all what he said ....

I was missing that spring at 6:50, is it responsible for gear 3? Because I took mine apart for maintainance because gear 1 was not working, and after assembling it (I noticed that this spring is missing), for some reason gear 1 works but gear 3 (highest gear) does not.

谢谢🙏

[@Popcornkulture]

Is it even worth servicing? Use it for a long time. Replace when needed

辽哥有没有卖sava z3？ 推荐吗？

标题都英文了，辽哥厉害啊！你的保养服务要提前预约还是直接推车去？

[@chenliao585]

保养都要放车在这里，因为很费时间

OMG!! Don't put thick grease on the pawls....they'll just go and stick again.

[@LuficariusRatspeed]

Indeed. That seems counterintuitive. If memory serves, a thin liquid lubricant is used for all internal parts except the bearing which seals the internals from water.

[@bikemancambs]

light oil only on the pawls , these new hubs are not good give me one from 1980 please

[@hoogerbooger5862]

Actually, I take back my previous comment as I suspect it is a semi-fluid grease they are using. However, don't take the hub apart in the crazy way they have. Remove the circlip and sprockets. Then remove the LH locknut and cone. Then loosen the ballring on the RH side. You don't need the SA spanner. You can use a long punch/flat blade screw driver and locate in a ballring notch and strike the punch, downwards. Rotate it 180 degrees and do the same with the other notch. ( if this doesn't work look online for further tips....I've never needed a spanner) Once the ballring is loose unscrew the whole inner and secure the LH end in a vice to dismantle it.
