About this product
This is a New Old Stock (NOS) Sturmey Archer SAB 3-speed bicycle rear hub with an integrated drum brake, featuring 36 spoke holes. This silver steel hub is designed for older Schwinn and Raleigh bikes from the 1970s, making it a vintage part. It offers three internal speeds and uses a nut attachment style, compatible with a universal range of cruiser, city, and chopper bike types.
Our take
For vintage bike enthusiasts or those restoring a classic, this NOS Sturmey Archer SAB 3-speed rear hub is a significant find. The integrated drum brake is a standout feature, offering consistent braking in various conditions, a major advantage over rim brakes, especially for cruisers or city bikes where reliability is key. The 3-speed internal gearing is practical for modest inclines and varied urban riding, all neatly tucked away. Being New Old Stock, it offers unblemished vintage appeal. The 36-hole count is standard for many older wheels, but ensure it matches your rim. The steel construction points to durability and its classic roots.
