gonna try a sturmey archer 3 speed with SBP shift kit

sturmey archer 3 speed install photos

Got the sturmey archer 3 speed laced up to a velocity triple V .14 gauge spokes. I like the shifter.Shifter works out well on left side of handle bar. I find it easier than the 7 speed derailleur. Took bike for a short dark and cold test ride. I like it. Time will tell though. The sick bike parts 4stroke airfilter is sweet. Will post updates later

Nice. I see SA has improved the shifting mechanism on the newer hubs. Have to tell us if it *skips* too. :geek:
 
cranbrook upgrades

Got the cranbrook almost dialed in. heres what i did. Added a anchor?? to the sturmey hub to keep the hub from slipping out of the drop out [works good] The shift kit jack shaft would twist no matter how tight I got it. Adjusting the chains is a pain so I added a idler.And most of all I got rid of the HS142 and replaced it with the honda . next upgrade [I hope the final one] is replacing the compression springs[ Thanks to Ocscully] when they arrive. If any one is intersted in these springs[clutch uses three] I had to order $40.00 worth [min order here] which equals 18 springs. I'm using three. 15 are up for grabs. I would like to recoup my money so I will sell 3 for $15.00 + ship. PM me if interested. Pay pal only

PS The Sturmey archer 3 spped hub is doing good so far[about 60 miles on the hub] The sturmey seems to have a good ratio. Might not work for those that like to speed shift and slam those gears:mad: The compression springs IMO are needed for higher rpm ingagement. The honda is a strong puller and startsup much better than the HS. The hub anchor,jackshaft adjuster and the idler are a much needed and big improvement for the CranBrook
