Where can I find a 20" wheel with 3 speed hub?
Hi folks,
I am hoping this is the place to ask, you all have soo much knowledge about these things... I am looking at a Amica folder that is a single speed, and wondering if there is a place to source a 20" wheel with the hub already in it. I know that one can buy the hubs; but the complications of swapping it out with different spoke lengths and all are beyond my reach. So, I am hoping for the easy fix. Do I have other worries about width? thanks! |

If you would consider going with a steel wheel (rim brakes work better on modern aluminum wheels than with steel), e-bay is an option. There are plenty of older 20" wheels with Sturmey Archer SA (3 speed) hubs available from the Schwinn Sting Ray era. Add a shifter, and you could be in business for around $50. Or, use the hub and spokes to build up an aluminum wheel.

Is this what you are looking for?
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Sturmey-Arche...QQcmdZViewItem Bought one myself a few weeks ago. Its 406mm size and good quality alround. |
Bike Friday in Eugene, OR sells tandems/singles with 20" 3 speeds hubs. Give 'em a holler.

You can pick up AW hubs really really cheap in the UK, like under £10 (used of course) on eBay. You could pick up a rim for a similar amount, find a friendly wheelbuilder - bingo!
