About this product
The Sturmey Archer A2D is a 2-speed drum brake bike hub designed for 36-hole rims, suitable for a range of bicycles including choppers, cruisers, and vintage MTB styles. Constructed from aluminum and steel, this silver hub features a kickback shifting mechanism for its two internal speeds. It comes as a complete kit, including the hub and extras, and is compatible with various cog sizes like 15t, 16t, 18t, and 19t for 3/32" or 1/8" chains. Its 130mm old school design caters to enthusiasts of classic bicycle builds.
Our take
This Sturmey Archer A2D hub is a fantastic option for anyone looking to build a retro cruiser or chopper, especially with its old-school MTB vibe. The 2-speed kickback mechanism is a neat feature, offering simplicity without sacrificing all gearing. The integrated drum brake is a big plus for reliability and low maintenance, which is great for a leisure bike. I appreciate the aluminum and steel construction for durability. However, at 130mm, it's tailored for specific frames, so confirm compatibility. The 36-hole count is standard for sturdy wheels, and having the hub in a box with extras is convenient for installation.
