The hub is a nice bit of gear and its cheaper than you can find just about anywhere. The Sturmey Hub and shifter are quality parts - the downside is the lack of a manual. The front wheel hub is also quality. The rims them are no-name and low end but they are fine and they're laced up with solid stainless spokes. The hub is a bit noisy (normal) in gears 2-8 due to the pawls clicking but quieten up with the addition of some oil to the hub internals. Gear changes are swift and smooth and adjustment was simple using the indicators. The hub was shipped with a 20 tooth sprocket, but this is too low for normal use and i'd have preferred 25. Overall I'm very happy though.

Hub shift is smooth but gearing for 700c wheels needs to be sorted out, have ordered a 25 tooth gear for the sturmy archer plus will be going to use a smaller front chain ring ,currently running a 42. Will try a 39, also the shifting cable was to short for my frame and no outer cable was supplied. With the original setup was only able to utilise 1234 gears. Not a real easy swap but if you have any mechanical aptitude you can sort it out.
