Three gears sealed inside the hub, away from the weather: this 24" rear wheel is built around Sturmey-Archer's S-RF3, a simple way to give a city, cruiser or folding bike a low gear for hills and a high one for the flat.

  • Change gear while stopped at the lights, which a derailleur can't do
  • Alex DM18 rim, 24.4 mm wide, double-wall, laced 36H
  • Silver Mach 1 spokes, hand-laced, tensioned and trued
  • Built to order to a standard spec, not machine-laced

The hub. Sturmey-Archer lists the S-RF3 as: classic 3-speed internal gear hub, 177% gear range (steps of 33% and 33%); 6061 aluminium hub shell; freewheel version, with no brake in the hub; takes a 13T to 24T sprocket; hub weight 970 g.

Fit. It needs a frame with 117 mm rear spacing and takes a nutted axle. It shifts with a Sturmey-Archer 3-speed shifter and indicator chain; ask us if you need one. It takes a 13T to 24T Sturmey-Archer sprocket. The rim has a machined braking surface for rim brakes.

Built to order. Hand-built by our wheel builder and dispatched in about [lead time] business days.
