With their long life & minimal maintenance Sturmey hubs are great value for money.
The cost to build a wheel with a Sturmey Archer internally geared hub is the same as a regular wheel build from us. Check out our wheel building page for information and booking details if you already have your parts & are ready to get going.
Some things to note when considering upgrading your bike to an internally geared hub are that these systems need somewhere to tension the chain, so you will need a bicycle frame that is single speed or has horizontal dropouts. Alternatively if your bike has an eccentric bottom bracket, you can fit an internally geared hub.
Another compatibility note is that Sturmey Archer hubs are not compatible with a thru axle.
We are often asked about the types of hubs that can be used & what is available in Australia. At the moment 5 speed hubs are not available to us, nor are 7 or 8 speeds.
3 speed hubs are available and we build with them a lot! a 3 speed hub is more than sufficient for city or urban riding so we don’t consider this a disadvantage!
