Hello All,
I have a perplexing SA adjustment problem that is driving me up the wall. I have posted this problem earlier, and I just cannot get this bike adjusted properly. So, help is still needed.I have an early 70's Humber Ladies SA 3 speed. No matter how I adjust the SA cable tension, it either skips in 2nd or 1rst gear. I have had to install a replacement Japanese copy SA trigger, along with a new cable. I have tried a couple of different indicator spindles, with no difference in the problem. If I set up the cable tension correctly, it skips in 2nd. If I set it up with the cable super loose, 2nd is ok, then it skips in 1rst. Am going out of mind in this one, because I truly feel that it is something external, and not something wrong with the hub inside. The shifter moves fine, the fulcrum is tight, the pulley is moving. I have put the bike on a work stand, disconnected the cable, and checked that there is correct differences in the rotation of the gear on the hub, to show that there actually is a first, second and third gear . I am open to all advice and suggestions from any and all Sturmey Archer gurus, because this one is driving me nuts. Help !
