I am the proud owner of a IGH hub bike.

It's a sturmey archer 8 speed, though I'm not sure exactly what model hub it is.

Tips on maintaining this thing?

I put a few drops of oil into my AW3 hub, occasionally ,
I just took the axle cones out and greased those bearings, last month.
It was a used bike..
