Hi All,
I recently purchased a Huffy Cranbrook. I want a 3 speed hub so I can tolerate riding it around my hilly town. It seems to me that there are three options...
1. Find an old wheel that has a 3 speed hub already built in, and it might fit my bike?
2. Purchase a 3 speed hub, and all other parts req. to build my own wheel- where do I get those parts?
3. Purchase a fully built wheel with the 3 speed hub
I imagine that any option will cost close to what I payed for the whole bike (or more), I accept that. I am mechanically savy, but I am brand new to bike building.
How should I accomplish this?
Thank you all.
