ready to rebuild the wheels around the current Taiwan made hubs?
2 National Offices (NL & US) don't handle parts, but leave that to various importing wholesalers..
This is the hub here as far as I can make out: sturmey-archerheritage.com/index.php?page=history-detail&id=136
Would rather avoid rebuilding wheels and buying new hubs, this is for a cheap town bike that I won't cry if it gets robbed.
If I have to go down the road of buying new hubs and building a wheel I'll just put rim brakes on it as is, would be easier and cheaper.
Won't object to buying new shoes for it (if needed, haven't opened it yet, but can't imagine new ones won't be needed!) as they should be cheap enough and last ages, so Iwant to explore fixing the current hubs first.
