Review: works great with 42 tooth sprocket - I really like this 3 speed hub. I converted my bike to a cargo bike (xtra-cycle) the same time I got this hub. I originally had a 38 tooth single speed sprocket on the front. The 3-speed hub didn't work too well with that 38 tooth sprocket. (Had to hold the shifter down to stay in 1st gear.) Got a 42 tooth sprocket from desertcart and the bike really works superb now, better with this 3 speed than with the original Nexus 7. I knew this 3-speed shifter was the one I wanted, from when I was a kid riding my cousin's Raleigh. Really impressed by it then and like it a lot now. Seems stronger, smoother, more mechanically sound than the nexus. Riding in the rain probably did the nexus in. Won't need to ride in the rain with this one but bet it would hold up if I did. Recommend the cargo bike too. Really nice to have.
Review: Hub brakes & external gearing best of both worlds - Installed this on my e-bike . Internal gears & brakes. Works just like I hoped . Best way to go on any bike. This was the three speed hub . Next time I would probably go with the five speed . Geared low enough for hill climbing, geared high enough I can hit 30MPH . You would think 30MPH would be fast enough , but I live in a rual area where house are miles apart . So I wish I could go fast. (THE NEED FOR SPEED ) addicting.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will this hub work on a 26 inch x 4 inch wide fat tire what do you recommend?**
A: It will work, you will just need to dish the spokes a lot. After using these for a few years and the internals breaking I gave up on the internal gears and went back to external.

**Q: Which one is this...hu2209 or hu2210...which axle length? the description states "axle length is 175mm for hu2210 and 162.7mm for hu2209"**
A: I still had one in the box, measured 162.7mm axle width.

**Q: Never laced a wheel set before.  I have 26 x 1.95 tires. What wheel size do need to purchase and can I get pre-cut spokes to fit the hub?**
A: Take the rim and hub to a bike shop and have them sell you the right sized spokes. lacing a wheel is easy, but dishing, trueing the wheel and getting the hop out it may be challanging for someone that has never done it before.

**Q: Hi, just wondering if this is a freewheel hub like the standard s30 hub? Thanks.**
A: Yes it is a freewheel hub. Uses a coaster brake cog and chain stay mounted brake arm for the drum. you'll have 2 cables running to the hub.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sturmey Archer 3-speed hub
*by B***M on October 24, 2010*

I like and use this 3 speed hub on a custom beach cruiser. It is inexpensive, available and works silky smooth. The built in brake is a plus to keep out sand and allows you to reposition the bike pedals for a strong take off from a traffic light. My only negative point is that the gears are wide where a regular derailer would have 5 gear steps that this hub spans with three. So, this results in a transition of pedaling too fast then too slow with a gear change on the road.
