Hello,

I've been searching the BF C&A postings, Sheldon Brown, etc. ever since I took on repairing/rebuilding my sister's Raleigh Sports 3 speed (guessing mid to late 70's). She was given the bike by her neighbor. It is in pretty good shape cosmetically, but it has some mechanical issues (headset and bottom bracket need rebuilding, shifts poorly)

I am just getting started on cleaning up the bike and I've noticed that I can only backpedal about a quarter of a turn (or less). I haven't found any BF threads about actually riding a 3 speed, so I am wondering if this is normal or if there is something wrong with the SA hub.

Thanks in advance. So much knowledge shared on this site...just amazing!
