Title: A question on the axel
Post by: Dogtemple on 21, August, 2009 - 14:10:52
Hi

im looking into getting a C5 to play with over the winter, i want to know what is the diameter/diameters of the rear axle.  id like to make some improvements and this is something id like to work with.

also is there any info on sturmey archer gears for the pedaling side?  ive tried looking on here but not found anything relating to it.

cheers!

Take a look through this section of the site;

Following this on the cypax site ;

..looks pretty much what you're after regarding the gears  ;)

If you want a stripped down axle to play with I could loan you one, drop me an email and see what we can sort out.
