New Sturmey Archer 5 speeds
What's this new 'N' range all about? Looks like the Brompton 6 speed type of thing. . . how many sprockets/cogs are meant to fit on the driver? Is that how the Shimano system always looks, i.e. with enough space to adjust sprocket/chainline position or is this clearly intended to run 2 sprockets?

Got links?
using the updated sheldon gears math engine that new 5 speed
is adding 1v and 5v to an aw3 ratio set, for 2nd and 4th
whereas the older 5 speeds tightened up the ratios.

On the SA website there's a bunch of new 5 speeds that have a 9 spline type sprocket fitting, which look similar to the brompton double-sprocket driver.

The only 5-speed hubs I can find on the SA website with a "N" designation are described as "now available with a 9 spline driver." In this one, for example, the image shows some sort of splined thingy on the right side where I assume the cog slips on, rather than threading on.

planetary internal ratios are wider than the 4/3 and 3/4.. in the middle gears.
they could have used the same driver that they fit in the BWR hub , but that is Idle speculation.
see what the Hubstripping blog has to offer,
Write the Importer/distribuitor, or call a shop that stocks both..

FWIW, Sturmey-Archer has not made IGHs that take threaded-on cogs for, hmm, around 60 years now. The standard pattern, and one that's shared with most Shimano and SRAM (Fichtel&Sachs) IGHs is the three-tab interface. The "thingy" is called a driver.

The new S3x a fixed gear hub with 3 speeds , threads the splines,
so you can use a screw on freewheel. [Or a spline cog for using it , as a fixed gear]
It is the lower 3/5ths of a 5 speed hub , 1:1 is the top gear
White industries Dos is a 2 cogs machined out of one piece freewheel ..
