My 6 year old son has inherited our short legs...... so I need to build him a rear wheel with an internal hub since he wont be out growing his bike. It's a specialized hotrock, aluminum frame, 110 spacing, in which I would like to build/get a 20 inch wheel with internal hub gearing.
How many gears?
Brand?
Thought?
thanks !

Rear hubs for Brompton Folding Bikes are 112mm which is close. Look at SJS Cyclery for what is out there and then try to find something in your region that's on-line.

The Sturmeys have a 3sp non-coaster, S-RF3 148mm axel, with 108mm spacing. So need rim brakes.
Likely the only such new hub around. The coaster is 116mm.
SJS Cycles in England has the best SA selection, but NOT this hub. They seem to not like special orders. Look around
on Google.
I have ordered from them, excellent service.
They have 20 pages of SA parts that you need to look thru to find what else is needed.
Use the official SA site to get the part numbers and diagrams.
