Brilliant. Thanks for the update. Barring a pedal strike, I would
expect the S3X to handle those mounds.
I agree with you on the cable stretch - on the Oregon Manifest
challenge (77 miles of mixed terrain with steepness), Chris Igleheart
lost a gear on his S3X, but it turned out to be a shifter pr

I have a new S2 still sitting in the box, along with a Weinmann DP18
rim... just need to get off my ass and order spokes; then I'll lace it
up for my single speed '86 Nishiki Prestige. I love riding it SS, but
adding 38% for the flats and downhill (to me) is arguably worth the
aggravation of multi
Hi Reed, how did your S3X break? I was just looking at doing some
silly things to mine, which got me wondering if there was a gear that
would be too low for the internals.

I've been happy with the S3X from Sturmey Archer. I think the quality
is good. I'm still considering the S2 (non-coaster brake) kickback,
and I have a vintage Sachs Automatic (like the kickback but no
kicking) that I enjoyed on my Quickbeam.

I've heard good
I've heard good things about these and am intrigued by the shifting
mechanism, but don't think I'd be that into the coaster brake. I'm
just hoping Rivendell is bringing back the Q/R Suzue hubs-they,
uh, shift pretty reliably too heh heh.

interesting...
I'm considering the freewheel version. This is available I think.
Does anyone have experience with the newer SA ones? Comments of their
quality would be very helpful.
I imagine it could get a little expensive having a wheel built up
around one of these instead of buying a budget si
