I'm reading up on the differences, but quick question: Am I right in thinking that the first type (eg TF hub) has least drag, the second (AM, TC) somewhat more, and the third (FM?) the most? Second qu

I've been told by someone who has done it that it's not that hard to trim the 3 splines on modern SA cogs to fit the square and shallower splines on the 12-spline drivers on TF and TC hubs. [I think t

So in my continued taste for the unusual, I am considering building a generator front wheel with almost but not quite radial spokes, using the fractional spoke crossing mentioned on SheldonBrown.com w

Art Brass in Seattle, recommended by Aaron who is expediting the matter, is going to re-chrome-plate the hub. Woohoo! $235 incl tax. Pics when back in hand. -- ----------------------------------------

The cotter pin press moves with respect to the crank arm when the cotter pin bends. When used perpendicular to the right crank arm, the spider or sprocket may prevent it from going on far enough to ce

I have one of Mark Stonich' Bikesmith Design cotter pin presses. Is there a technique to avoid bending the threaded shaft of stubborn cotter pins? I also need to invent a method of using the tool on t

I'm looking for a couple more of the proprietary 12-spline cogs in the 15 t size. If anyone has one to sell, or knows sources, please let me know. Thanks. Patrick Moore -- ----------------------------

As most you are probably aware, older Sturmey Archer hubs had screw-in left side ball cups. Most had flats on the outside to allow for easy removal and replacement, or swapping. But on the AB, the fla

After the retrodirect discussion a few months ago I built one. I had hoped to ride it a mile every day, but other riding has taken priority. The bottom bracket cup used is actually a steel left bottom

I do not see how you can effectively use a partially threaded on track sprocket on a bike. The reverse thread lockring would not be tight after you started, and thus the fixed action would not work. E

Here’s a question that might have been posed by me a year ago, not sure. Here it is as I have yet to find an answer: I live in Philadelphia and am eager to purchase a new roadster, possible a Gazelle,

This recent note from Alex about his most awesome bike got me thinking I want to see if I can reduce the number of bicycles I have by making one that runs 26" fat tires (that I already have) and also

I've had some pretty bad luck with internal hubs this year. In the fall my 'new-to-me' winter bike was stolen. It was so new to me that I had not written down the serial number nor seen a single snowf

I have had this now for about 2 years, long enough to notice that I do not ride it enough to justify it taking up space. I suspect the reason is I have not gotten used to lash on a fixed gear. It is s

In my parts collection I have found a Sturmey Archer locknut 3.2mm (1/8") thick, 17mm across the flats. Does anyone know what hub this would be from, or what the part number is? I would like to be abl

And for those who said they wanted them, here are 5 new ones. Buy them and sell the ones you do not want to the other list members. https://www.ebay.com/itm/174869212693
