Shimano 8-speed Internal-Gear Hubs
Major revision to the page about Shimano 8-speed hubs:
— Added information on new hub models and fixed the many links which Shimano broke when it went to its new organization of technical Web pages.
— Linked to a number of documents Shimano abandoned. They’re available in the Internet Archive.
— Located other orphaned information where I could find it elsewhere on the Internet.
All in all, I’ve brought the information on each model of hub together in one place, to the degree possible with what I could find. Please let me know about errors and omissions.
Derailerless drivetrains
New article, derailerless drivetrains
: How to choose frame and rear hub for a happy combination on a bicycle without derailers: a fixed gear, singlespeed, internal-gear hub, coaster brake bicycle — and how to adjust the chain tension. This article compiles information from the articles on fixed-gear and singlespeed bicycles. but adds to it and puts it in one place. Most issues with all derailerless drivetrains are the same, but there are important differences to note, there is new equipment to cover, and there are additional techniques to describe.
SRAM and Sachs Internal-gear hubs

Cycling in winter
Well, it’s time for this, in much of the Northern-Hemisphere anyway. Before I get onto my bicycle this morning, let me announce an article about winter cycling! Here’s one of my favorite photos of Sheldon…
The article covers winter bicycles, clothing, riding technique and choice of routes.There are links to other sites with additional information.
Don’t let the cold weather stop you. Getting out and getting exercise is a great way to defeat the winter blues. And you won’t have to dig out the car, or stand shivering at the bus stop.
Sturmey-Archer 8-speed Cable Pull
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.
