Sadly, I know that ' Santa' can't afford what I want
I want to fit a Sturmey Archer S3X, 3 speed fixed gear hub to my Hillbrick (currently a normal fixed gear). Cheap to do with the cheap hubs on ebay but they are all 36h hubs and my rims are 32h. This leads to building a new wheel only the wheels are Miche who don't sell rims and not in 36h anyway so I'd have to build a complete wheelset because I don't want mismatched wheels. You can get 32h S3X hubs, but only through real shops with price tags about three times the cheap hubs on ebay. Occasionally you'll see wheelset on ebay at a decent price but they don't ship to Australia
Sooooooooo, I WILL get my S3X rear end, but it's going to be more than poor old Santa can afford. I have however, requested financial donations and if I sell some stuff...
