1954 Sturmey ASC, close-ratio fixed-gear hub



Selling this ASC (sold already) so I took the opportunity to overhaul it, mostly for my own curiosity. I started taking pictures of all the steps but forgot to take the last few, but there's most of the rebuild anyway, for anyone interested: Flickr album

Sharp-eyed viewers will notice, I neglected to remove the secondary Sun gear from the axle, just cleaned it in-situ. That's because I didn't want to bend down the ears of the keeper-washer just to disassemble, then bend them back up after re-assembly. Those ears will break off eventually after being bent up and down enough times, and it's not an easy part to find. Plus, dis- and re-assembly are easier if you leave that alone — win-win.
