I think I'll stay with the 1 speed gear on mine

Luke S · 19, February, 2013 - 08:16:08

I have seen it on a C5 and it looks quite complicated

It has 2 chains as well doesn't it $:-\$

It's something I'd like to do and whilst I have a rough idea on the process (I've read the sites with it on etc), there are still a couple of bits I'm not sure of.
As always, I'll be watching the progress with my jaw firmly dragging on the floor as has works his magic.

The first one was hard to make ,But after 3 I think I will be ok ....'

Just done a little more work on the Sturmey Archer fitting .It may look a little rough at the moment but it will be tided up later after making sure that all fits and it will work
As you will see I have fitted a new bearing and washer + rubber seal on the axle ..

mhurt · 20, February, 2013 - 16:51:01

Chas : how easy/hard is it to move the cog on the axle? It's something I never even considered before.

C5 ENTHUSIAST + RESTORER · 20, February, 2013 - 17:44:44

Hi there it has to be grinded off then moved along and rewelded in place ...

Both chains now fitted

Now I know all works well now its time to strip it down and clean all the parts then reinstall them
