Is this Sturmey Archer hub dead?

[Hugo]

I have no experience with SA hubs, this one is a AW and it's marked 83-3. That's March of 83, right? Here´s a picture of the right side (sorry it's blurry, my camera is usually pretty good on macro mode):

As you can see, there are parts missing. Is this salvageable? Is it a parts donor? Or just a shiny paper-weight? Thanks.

Yes, most all sturmey hubs are salvageable. The best thing for you is to find another hub and slide the guts into that shell.

You never know..

besides...once you Turf it out!
Then a week later you'll need a Part..

Another quick question. When you're coasting on a SA hub, and the pedals want to move forward, what does that mean and how do I fix it?

It allows you to take pictures really close up with out them blurring (like 6" or so close)...And why do I think this may be a mistake giving this information to the Rickster... :roll: :shock: :wink: :mrgreen:

Your chain could be too tight, or the hub needs adjustment.

Make sure the cones are adjusted properly. Usually means they are too tight. Or that you have a build up of gunk in the hub and it could stand to be cleaned.
