thanks for vıdeo.I did over tightening mıstake and now when free wheelıng also tıre movıng also when movıng the bıcycle by hand pedals movıng ıs thıs harm to hub? also I used not quaılıty hard oıl on the bearıngs
Hello sir! Thank you so much for the video. Since I'm trying to restore a Raleigh Superbe, I just realised that second gear is not operational, it's like the gearbox is in neutral when you select it. I also hear what I think is the freewheel ticking all the time when I pedal, but I'm not sure is that actually producing the sound. Watching videos I kind of learned that second gear should have the sprocket and the hub rotating at the same pace, but I really don't know what to look at in the hub to make that happen. Just wanted to ask if you had any suggestion for having already experienced that kind of situation. Thank you again!
Hi there. It sounds like this is related more to your shifter cable tension than the hub itself. Incorrect cable tension will cause the gears to disengage as they’re not in the correct place. Reset that and it should help. As for the ticking noise, that’s completely normal in all gears when pedalling Sturmey Archer 3-speed hubs. It changes speed in different gears but should be there. Don’t worry about that at all.
@@AMBikeCo Thank you so much! The shifting is now fine. The only issue now seems to be the ghost riding when bike is pushed. Lifting the bike on a stand and spinning the wheel, sometimes the sprocket seems one piece with the nearest disk at his left, and the pedals start moving, while other times they seem independent. They made me notice the wheel wiggles a bit and this can be related to a broken axle. I'm afraid the only way to understand that is disassembling the entire hub, right?

Thank you for his movie. Now know why after repair in bike shop, gears not works - fixed by myself!
I have a strurmey archer three speed coaster brake wheel I would like to have overhauled but I live in the United States, New York City. I cannot find a shop that will do the job. Do you know of any shops in New York City, or in the US that could do the job? Thanks.
Man, if that white grease is lithium grease... when I tried using that, it turned into a big goopy soup. I used marine grease instead which seems to hold in place way better. What's your experience with that?
Honestly, no issues! I’ve had serviced hubs back after a year of use and the grease is still largely intact. Edit: it’s not lithium grease, which might explain the difference in results.
Lithium is in loads of different greases and is just one aspect of it, there'll be thickners and a base oil as well, I've been using a red fully synth lithium bearing grease with good results, doesn't seep which means it stays cleaner, seems to last longer too.
Thanks for this video. I'm going to have to overhaul the sturmey archer AT3 hub on my bike before spring, so this is a great help! What oil and grease are you using? I found the spec number for both but I dunno which brands are good or not haha
I just had a 1990 S.A. hub apart and this looks like an older model??? With the old clutch and driver. Not the no inbetween gears model. Did S.A. sell both designs for a while???
Through the '60s many of us kids had Raleigh or similar bikes with S-A 3-speed hubs and the only "maintenance" they ever got was a drop of oil on the small chain that moved the gear rod in and out. They took quite a beating and I never knew of one to give trouble.
Keeping one intact as an example is definitely a good idea for your first attempt! Also helps to snap some quick photos on your phone as you disassemble any parts. Hope this helps.
Hey great video v useful. I am in middle of same job. Can you tell me what you are scooshing onto the mechanism with the spritzer bottle...is it alcohol or some other fluid?... presumably to clean and loosen things off to get the pins and pawls and springs out? (My mech has slghtly different arrangement with circlip holding in the pawls)

Heya, thanks for this video. I have a very rough hub now after the bike fell on its side. Its a 1999 3 speed hub according to its housing. I think the bearings might have got misaligned and i intend to replace them. I noticed there are 2 bearings on each side (7 1/4 according to my search, is that right) and a bigger one with a black retainer (where can i get that?). Is that all? 3 bearings? Thanks
That's correct, 7 x 1/4 bearings as long as they're in a cage. In terms of availability, SJS Cycles in the UK stock most of their spares. I hope this helps, Colin.
After much debate i decided to use Muc-Off wet lube. People had suggested using SAE-30 oil and sewing machine oil to me. Not entirely sure what would be best in the long run
You can always top up with a different oil using the oil port in the coming weeks/months and it’ll replace the existing oil used. SAE-30 will be a good choice for that.
Nice video. I am thinking of attempting this on one made in 1992, is there anything different compared to yours from 1990? also what white grease is that? don't want to use the wrong grease.
Hey bud, there shouldn’t be any differences as far as I know. The grease for the bearings is a marine-type grease and the lube for the internals is Muc-Off Wet Lube.
Hey, amazing video thanks! I've got a bit stuck removing the outer housing, would be super useful to know what the big ring tool you use at 1:22 is? I've been trying the whacking it with a hammer and punch with no success so far 🥺 Thanks!
Hi Frank, it’s Sturmey Archer’s ball cup tool for this very purpose. It doesn’t fit all AW hubs though, so can be really frustrating. You might have some luck with a pipe wrench. Hope this helps, Colin.
Better to lube the spindle and washers as you rebuild the caliper as these will more than likely seize up quite quickly in winter use. Apart from that a pretty nice job.
You can see at 5:15 or so that I spot lube on the top of the moving parts. That easily works its way down through to prevent seizing. I’ve had no issues in 15+ years using that technique.
I had a bike with this gearing. 2nd gear would suddenly slip without warning. Very dangerous. Personally I prefer the more simple derailleur. Good video though. Thanks. x
