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.
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.
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!
SRAM G9 Hub
Our article about the SRAM G8 hub now also covers the new G9 9-speed.
SRAM G8 Hub
New article about the SRAM G8 8-speed internal hub gear 
— all you need to know to install this hub: specifications, gear ratios, parts compatibility and availability, how the mechanism works. As far as we know, this is the one place on the Web where you can find all this information. And if you happen to read German, we have an absolutely terrible pun for you too. Achtung, indeed!
Additions to Nexus/Alfine 8-speed article
John has added information to the article about Shimano Nexus and Alfine 8-speed internally-geared hubs, describing common failure modes and how to forestall failure; how to determine whether a hub might need service; and also normal noises and “clunks” which these hubs make, to avoid unnecessary alarm.
New Shimano internal-gear hubs
Shimano has some new internal-gear hubs. We’ve updated the Shimano 3-speed page, and the internal-gear hubs page.
