The Sturmey 8spd is designed with gear 1 as the "normal" gear. Each other gear gets higher and higher. I think that means you'd want a pretty small front chainring to keep the gearing from getting ridiculously high... I'm not positive, but that's something to look into for sure.

I also used the Truvativ kit, and I can highly recommend it. I did a writeup with pictures on my blog... Dura Ace cranks on a war-time Schwinn New World - here's pics / link: http://37-590.blogspot.com/2009/05/bott ... piece.html
