You refer to the classic Shimano type F and type FA gearboxes with a pushrod and bell crank control.

Nexuses should be fixable by replacing the entirety of the internals, which you can do without respoking and thus for a lot less than 200 euros. Jasper |

There's a *name* for that! I think I most recently saw it implemented on an IKEA lamp socket. Just earlier this evening, in the course of confirming that my 3- spline S-A sprocket *ought* to just lift off the driver, I ended up reading not only about the Shimano 3-speeds but also about the (presumably rare) SunTour-branded S-A hub; also about German (Sachs) and Austrian (Steyr) -made 3-speeds. The latter having parts interchangeability with S-A was presumably a knock-off or licensed or something, but not being made in the UK not made *by* S-A. Chip C |
