If they fit your dropout, the SA old 3-speed hubs are great. I have several. On my Arvon2 "folder" - actually a totally take apart - I have a SA-8 and it is the PITS! It drops to lower gears "automatically" and sometimes will NOT shift. Not impressed. ZERO customer service from SA. Nothing but issues with cable adjustment.

I bought a Nexus 8 speed as a replacement but have not built a wheel yet.
