Information the current series of Sturmey-Archer 8-speed hubs has been added to the cribsheet of internal-gear hub cable pull measurements. Not quite the same as for the earlier series! Thanks to David Choma for the measurements!

Sturmey-Archer Pages Updated
Major update to the Sturmey-Archer pages:
* fixed links which S-A broke by redoing its Web site (that’s everything about current hubs).
* updated the list of hubs.
* Added new technical information.
Our cribsheet of hub model names and descriptions is a good place to start.
A quick quick-release lesson
New article: Osman Isvan demonstrates how to remove and replace quick-release bicycle wheels, with two videos. Here’s one of the videos:
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.
Raleigh Twenty page additions
Additions to the page on Raleigh Twenty bicycles — more detail on bottom-bracket replacements, headsets, brakes, handlebars. This page gives specific ideas about customizing the Twenty, and highlights Sheldon’s do-it-yourself approach in general, taking advantage of the strong points (in this case, the frame) of a run-of-the mill bicycle to upgrade it into a one that performs, and looks great too.
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
Sony HDR-AS100V action camera review
We now have a review of the Sony HDR-AS100 action camera, highlighting its image stabilization feature.
Jobst Brandt articles edited
Edits to a number of articles in the Jobst Brandt series, and an embedded video in the one about front-end shimmy.
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!
