Thank you, 3alarmer from 'The Big Tomato' - don't know where that is but we have a Big Pineapple and a Big Prawn and lots of other 'Big' things down here - anyway, I will try what you suggest. Incidentally, since doing a bit of research on Sturmey Archer Hubs I have come across oodles of websites, mostly cycle related, with lots and lots of comment and useful information. Am becoming quite the 'expert' by now! One thing is certain however, and that is that 5spd hubs are a bugger to adjust properly.
