Sturmey Archer RS-RF3 3/32 sprocket compatibility?
hi
I wonder if I can pair the Sturmey Archer's RS-RF3 (3 speeds) internal gear-hub with a 3/32 sproket.
Its part-list document only lists these 1/8" sprockets parts
Sturmey Arche also has 3/32" sprockects parts for a similar internal gear hub (e.g. the rx-rk5, a 5 speeds hub)
If not, is there any third party company that makes 3/32" sprocket for the RS-RF3?

- HSL924 Sprocket 18T, 1/8" Deep Dished (Chrome)
- HSL965 Sprocket 19T, 1/8" Deep Dished (Chrome)

- HSL202 Sprocket 20T, 3/32 Dished
If not, is there any third party company that makes 3/32" sprocket for the RS-RF3?

Look carefully at photos of the parts and sizes if the ID spline patterns look similar.
Confirming a "no fit" is usually easier than knowing it will fit, but if you can't rule it out, buy one from a seller with a friendly return policy.
Otherwise, if you can't raise the bridge, lower the water. Consider running a 1/8" chain on your 3/32" chainrings.
