You folks using modern bar-ends, I see S-A is selling one that has the correct pull for old hubs. Anyone have any experience? I was going to use a ratcheting Suntour just to try it but “indexing” would be more betterer.
The Sturmey Archer modern bar-end shifter works perfectly with the old SA 3-speed hubs. Once you have the High gear dialed in with the cable not under any pull, Neutral and Low work like champs. A Suntour ratcheting bar-end will work, you just need to be careful about your shifts.

The 'Gatorcet (Avocet Racer recovered in alligator embossed cowhide). Available for any poor soul to test ride at his or her own discomfort! Please note: The stitching disappears under the booty. Other factors caused my pain and suffering!
