Hello Rose.
I had the same concerns. I called the bicycle shop and they wanted a mint to even look at it. A friend recommended I check Youtube. I found 3 videos on youtube that were very helpful with the adjustments for the
3-speed Sturmey Archer hub. Very helpful and easy to follow. I love the Triumph Classic bikes. She rides like a dream. Good luck with yours...I'm currently looking for someone to redo my original Brooks seat. It is quite comfortable but also quite weather cracked.
