Updates to our main page on Sachs and SRAM hubs , and our page on the G8 and G9 hubs. We have located additional technical information from SRAM, and wehave fixed a number of Web links that went bad.

Crib sheet of internal-gear hub cable-pull measurements
NEW – Crib sheet of internal-gear hub shifter cable pull measurements
The main thing this shows is that there is very little compatibility, though there is *some* — mostly among three-speeds, though not always among them either. I thank Alex Wetmore and Jeff Bertolet for help with this page.
Addition to page on SRAM G8 and G9 hubs
John has added some owner comments to the page on SRAM G8 and G9 internal-gear hubs. Opinions are generally very positive.
Quick releases
I’ve responded to a request from a reader for more information about quick-release skewer lengths by going further, with a major expansion of the article about quick releases. The article now covers wheel installation, secondary retention devices including the much-derided “lawyer lips”, and much more. — http://sheldonbrown.com/skewers.html — John Allen, for sheldonbrown.com
Click to re-order spindle list
The list of Sturmey-Archer indicator spindles now sorts either on the part number or on the spindle length, with a mouse click.
More indicator spindles
David Prosser of Sturmey Archer has sent information about a couple of Sturmey-Archer indicator spindles (the chain-pull assembly which shifts the hub). It is now on our indicator spindle page. Thanks David!
Spoking patterns for large hubs
New article on spoke patterns which avoid excessive spoke angles
with large hubs such as electrically-assisted bike hub motors.
Measuring hub and rim for spoke-length calculation
New page on how to measure a hub and rim to get the numbers to enter into a spoke-length calculator.
which tire fits which rim?
Major revision of the page on rim sizing to determine what tires will fit
SRAM G9 Hub
Our article about the SRAM G8 hub now also covers the new G9 9-speed.
