DESCRIPTION
See: Sheldon Brown's Raleigh Twenty
New XRF8 8-speed model, aluminum shell.
This model offers direct drive and 7 higher gears, up to 305% of direct drive, making it especially suitable for use on small-wheel bikes. Comes with twist shifter, 25 tooth 1/8" sprocket (only size currently available.)

Over Locknut Dimension (rear spacing) anywhere from 115 to 135 mm, depending on what nuts/washers you use.

It comes set for 124 mm with two 6 mm locknuts on the left end. You only need one locknug. If you remove one of the 6 mm locknuts, the spacing becomes 118 mm. If you replace the other locknut with a standard Sturmey-Archer 3 mm locknut, you can get it down to 115 mm.

Check the gear ratios on: Sheldon Brown's Internal Hub Gear Calculator

No other 8-speed hub goes this narrow for older frames without re-spacing.1840 grams

We will re-use your old hubs if you wish, but will not use used spokes nor rims.

If you bring in existing wheels to be rebuilt, add $10 per wheel for cutting the old spokes, cleaning and prepping your hub.
