Thanks for the reply.

I did some poking around the official SA site: http://www.sturmey-archer.com/hubs_8spd_XRF8_A.php#

155 mm hub = 28 spoke holes
170 mm hub = 36 spoke holes

My 16" wheels have 28 spoke holes. So it's a match for the 155 mm hub's 28 spoke holes! Yay!

Where do I measure to see if I need the 155 mm hub or the 170 mm hub?

Thanks!
