Sturmey Archer AW 9 hub with threaded sprocket
Hi all, further to my recent post on restoring old Raleigh loop frame, I thought I would ask separatley if anyone knows about the threaded 3 speed hub sprocket.
The hub doesn't have the usual date code, but is just stamped "AW-9", possibly 1939?
It has a threaded sprocket, not the usual lugged type, and I am trying to date it.
cheers, Al

AW-9 does = 1939. If you want to change out that sprocket, I'm fairly sure you can substitute a 3-prong driver for the threaded driver (or at least I've done so on later model SA AW hubs).
