I'm about to bid on a Sturmey Archer 8sp internal hub with a drumbrake laced to an Alex DC19 rim, it's just the rim/hub/tire. No levers.

Would I run into problems running this on a bike with a 1 peice crank set up? It's a nothing special bike (Infact, it's my tallbike) And what kinda levers and shifters do I need for it, is it index or friction?

Thank you for your help.


And the bike.


Also, what do you say this wheel is worth?
