General Dismantling
∓mp; General Re-assembling - read these first,
as they describe the first stages before the individual dismantlings and
reassemblies for the older models.
Sturmey's ever popular robust 3-speed AW Hub
The 4-speed FW Hub as
favoured by Dr. Moulton in the '60's
From a very greasy page in the manual the AG 3-speed hub and Dynohub.
A new section very kindly supplied by Andrew
Pattle from The Cycling Book of Maintenance - how to deal with BSA hubs. Some consider these superior to S-A hubs
although they are based on an early Sturmey design.
For the more up to date among us, a new
section on the S3C Tricoaster 3-speed hub and coaster
brake.
Hurrah! The nice man at Sturmey Archer has
sent me bags of new stuff. Sprinter and Sprinter Elite
5-speed hubs.
Fault diagnosis chart
for the above - it may be relevant to other hubs, but I haven't got around to
reading them all yet.
Goodness knows why I started doing this, but
I'm quite pleased with it now I've done it. I got horribly confused the first
time I dismantled a Sturmey Archer hub trying to remember the names of all the
bits. I hope this helps all you first timers out there...Parts
and names.
Sheldon Brown has constructed an enormous
web-site absolutely bursting with information. If you want more stuff than you
can shake a stick at just whizz off to his pages : Sheldon Brown He
has also agreed to put a mirror of the Sturmey Archer information on his site,
as I felt it would be found by more people there.
Following many requests for Sturmey-Archer contact addresses, Chris watched the service video right to
the end, and spent a happy 10 minutes playing with the pause button. We hope
you find this little lot useful.
Great news! Sturmey-Archer
are on the web at last - Anything you want to know on current production
models, but not a lot on the older stuff - just stay here for that!
If you want to know about folding bikes, or
indeed many other types of bikes, you could do worse than having a look at : The excellent A2B website
And the Sturmey-Archer guru himself:Tony Hadland Tony now has
the entire 1956 service manual available in acrobat format.
Brian Perkins has asked me to
add a link to his bicycle restoration website – he’s got a lot of information
about servicing old bikes and hubs with photos and slideshows.
