Hi Scop, that's what happens when those bike riders take up a whole lane.

I always wondered how my old 3 speed changed gears just by pulling on that ball chain coming out of the fat hub in the back.

This explains it even better, but it sure is complicated.

I've rebuilt a few Sturmey-Archer three speed hubs, back in my wrenching days. They are cool AF

My second bike was some English three speed with a Sturmey-Archer hub. I loved it. I bought it for $12 at a police auction. I must have been about 12 or 13 years old. I had $15 to spend and the bike started off with maybe a $10 bid. I bid on it, and then some adult man who had been bidding on a lot of bikes bid against me. So I looked at him, and I can only imagine the expression on my face. I bid $12, and he stopped bidding. I think he took pity on me.

Fast forward two years and somebody stole it from me. It had a cheap combination lock. Pissed me off. I loved that bike. It had a leather seat and green paint. And a cool rack. Really big wheels too. It seemed so fast.

Theft was how I lost my Sears Automatic Five as a kid. Riding it was kinda/sorta like driving a car with an automatic transmission.

It had a 5 speed external rear gear cluster, changing gears manually with a conventional selector lever, on a Shimano internal automatic 2 speed (direct and overdrive) hub. As the bike was ridden, an internal sensor changed the freewheel from direct to overdrive. There was a speed selector dial on the spoke protector, with five sensitivity positions, adjusted by turning the protector plate. That provided a range of RPMs over which to set the 2 speed hub to change automatically. The 5 speed rear gear cluster in conjunction with the automatic 2 speed hub gave 10 different gear ratios with a single chain wheel. On the cap in the center of the rear gear cluster, where the axle came through, it said "Automatic Five." Losing that came as a hard blow at the time.

Still kicking. Sunrace bought them and moved everything to Taiwan.

Things you do on a bike you shouldn't do in the office.
