We continue with our postings from the lost pages of the Sutherland’s Handbook for Bicycle Mechanics, 6th Edition — this time, the rebuilding instructions, parts list and troubleshooting chart for the Sachs Super 7/SRAM Spectro 7 hub.

Revisions to Sachs/SRAM Internal-gear hub pages
Every once in a while we go back and review our pages to deal with product changes and link rot. We just did that with all our pages about Sachs and SRAM internal-gear hubs. You will find product manuals here which are hard to find anywhere else. You can start with our main page about these hubs.
Sachs and SRAM internal-gear hubs update
We have updated all of our pages about Sachs and SRAM internal-gear hubs, fixing broken links and, regretfully, indicating that SRAM is now no longer making internal-gear hubs. But many of you are using these hubs, and we are maintaining information on them. Main page with links to others.
More info on SRAM internal-gear hubs
More information on the SRAM S7 internal-gear hub — a reader has sent us links to step-by-step rebuilding information and model comparisons, with photos. The text is in Russian but the photos tell the story and then there’s Google Translate. We’ve also checked an updated all the links on the page.
SRAM and Sachs Internal-gear hubs
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.
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.
Home-brew hybrid gearing
Additions to the article on internal-gear hubs — more about how to construct a multi-speed hybrid-gearing system using a stock 3-speed hub and two sprockets and/or two chainwheels. It indexes even without index shifters! Photo courtesy of Mark Stonich.
Sutherland’s Handbook of Coaster Brake and Internally-Geared Hubs
Sutherland’s handbook of Coaster Brake and Internally-Geared Hubs is now online on this site. Many thanks to Howard Sutherland for permission to post this! The site now covers just about any of these hubs which you might ever have to work on.
Expanded coaster-brake coverage
Coverage of coaster brakes on sheldonbrown.com has been greatly expanded, now including all the most common models, old and new.
More about Sachs/SRAM hubs
John has prepared a new page about the Sachs Orbit hybrid-gear hub and added information about this hub to internal-gears.html and sachs-internal.html; also links to Karsten Stielow’s very interesting Web pages about Sachs and SRAM hubs.
