Kontact's question was fair. Sturmey Archer is best-known for their hubs. When someone mentions a "Sturmey Archer wheel", most experienced bike folks understanding would be a wheel built with SA hubs. Because of that, a "Sturmey Archer wheel" without SA hubs is a puzzling concept, and is going to invite questions to determine whether it's something unusual, or something being identified incorrectly.

How did your experiment with 26" wheels go? It's been over 6 months since this was initially posted. Surely, you should have some experience with your attempt to fit those wheels on your 29er frame by now. I'm curious to hear about the results, and maybe see some pics.
