Three gears and a back-pedal brake sealed inside the hub: this 700C / 29er rear wheel is built around Sturmey-Archer's S-RC3, the classic choice for a city, cruiser or step-through bike that needs to be low-maintenance.

  • Gears and brake are sealed inside the hub, so there's no derailleur to knock or adjust
  • Alex DM18 rim, 24.4 mm wide, double-wall, laced 36H
  • Silver Mach 1 spokes, hand-laced, tensioned and trued
  • Comes with the shift kit, per BPW
  • Built to order to a standard spec, not machine-laced

The hub. Sturmey-Archer lists the S-RC3 as: classic 3-speed internal gear hub, 177% gear range (steps of 33% and 33%); 6061 aluminium hub shell; takes a 13T to 24T sprocket; hub weight 1290 g.

Fit. It needs a frame with 117 mm rear spacing and takes a nutted axle. The coaster brake needs its brake arm clamped to the frame's chainstay. It shifts with a Sturmey-Archer 3-speed shifter and indicator chain (the shift kit comes with this wheel, per BPW). It takes a 13T to 24T Sturmey-Archer sprocket.

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