Mainly the impossibility of finding decent cotters and the difficulty of adequately fitting the shoddy ones that I'm able to get. Makes me reluctant to properly maintain the bottom bracket.

I'm intending to stick with the existing Sturmey Archer AW3 hub; I love that thing!
jackbombay that's a beauty! Mine is a disaster of a beater; I've given up on the idea of restoring it but it's still my favorite bike that I've ever had and want to get it in better running shape for my kid to use. Basically just this crank switcheroo and better brakes.)
