Hello sir! Thank you so much for the video. Since I'm trying to restore a Raleigh Superbe, I just realised that second gear is not operational, it's like the gearbox is in neutral when you select it. I also hear what I think is the freewheel ticking all the time when I pedal, but I'm not sure is that actually producing the sound. Watching videos I kind of learned that second gear should have the sprocket and the hub rotating at the same pace, but I really don't know what to look at in the hub to make that happen. Just wanted to ask if you had any suggestion for having already experienced that kind of situation. Thank you again!
@AMBikeCo Жыл бұрын
Hi there. It sounds like this is related more to your shifter cable tension than the hub itself. Incorrect cable tension will cause the gears to disengage as they’re not in the correct place. Reset that and it should help. As for the ticking noise, that’s completely normal in all gears when pedalling Sturmey Archer 3-speed hubs. It changes speed in different gears but should be there. Don’t worry about that at all.
@davideiaccarino3594 Жыл бұрын
@@AMBikeCo Thank you so much! The shifting is now fine. The only issue now seems to be the ghost riding when bike is pushed. Lifting the bike on a stand and spinning the wheel, sometimes the sprocket seems one piece with the nearest disk at his left, and the pedals start moving, while other times they seem independent. They made me notice the wheel wiggles a bit and this can be related to a broken axle. I'm afraid the only way to understand that is disassembling the entire hub, right?

Man, if that white grease is lithium grease... when I tried using that, it turned into a big goopy soup. I used marine grease instead which seems to hold in place way better. What's your experience with that?
@AMBikeCo Жыл бұрын
Honestly, no issues! I’ve had serviced hubs back after a year of use and the grease is still largely intact. Edit: it’s not lithium grease, which might explain the difference in results.
@zopEnglandzip11 ай бұрын
Lithium is in loads of different greases and is just one aspect of it, there'll be thickners and a base oil as well, I've been using a red fully synth lithium bearing grease with good results, doesn't seep which means it stays cleaner, seems to last longer too.

Through the '60s many of us kids had Raleigh or similar bikes with S-A 3-speed hubs and the only "maintenance" they ever got was a drop of oil on the small chain that moved the gear rod in and out. They took quite a beating and I never knew of one to give trouble.

Exactly, they're incredibly robust. The fact I still get 60s/70s/80s models through the workshop to service is testament to their quality.

Heya, thanks for this video. I have a very rough hub now after the bike fell on its side. Its a 1999 3 speed hub according to its housing. I think the bearings might have got misaligned and i intend to replace them. I noticed there are 2 bearings on each side (7 1/4 according to my search, is that right) and a bigger one with a black retainer (where can i get that?). Is that all? 3 bearings? Thanks

That's correct, 7 x 1/4 bearings as long as they're in a cage. In terms of availability, SJS Cycles in the UK stock most of their spares. I hope this helps, Colin.

You can always top up with a different oil using the oil port in the coming weeks/months and it’ll replace the existing oil used. SAE-30 will be a good choice for that.
