The Venerable, Sturmey AW3 , you only need to unscrew the cable
from the indicator chain.
Ring locknut, left in place, should get it back in adjustment easily.
and loosen the axle nuts, which are 15mm,
like a lot of fixies and pedals and such.
Now that there are lots of fixies ,
the combo of wrench and bottle opener
are your hot new thing.

I carry a 15 mm wrench for the axle nuts, and the correct size of Allen wrench for the set screw that holds the bell crank in place. The cable stays adjusted, as it stays connected to the bell crank, so you simply replace the bell crank after installing the wheel.

I wanted to revive this thread as I'm considering the purchase of a Schwinn Madison and adding an internal geared hub. My question is regarding the shifter. I want to use the Sturmey Archer 8 speed but I do not want a grip shift. If there a standard mountain bike style shifter that will work on this hub?
Thanks in advance.

And I'll hijack this thread further...
I was thinking of adding a geared hub to my Cycle Truck. It would be much more enjoyable around town. BUT... I have concerns with weight. Being a heavy duty machine I dont want to fit a hub that is only good for a lightweight bike that only hauls one person. (I have ridden people in the basket in the past!)
DO I need to be concerned with any of the choices talked about earlier in this thread?

Newer AW3 sturmey's are still not shifting the gears the clutch just changes the driven and the driver .
the 1st gear is 3/4, the 3rd is 4/3 new NIG design wont even go into the false Neutral of the 1930's design.
(it happens, sometimes if 3rd is not fully engaged. )
there was a Sachs Cargo 5 speed , but that is a past thing, in Europe ,
SRAM bought out Sachs , and that was discontinued
after shipping the German Machinery to Taiwan.
