Sturmey Archer Cassette Hub?

[scott]

Anyone seen one of these? For that matter, does anyone use a drum
break?

Scott:

I've had great success with these hubs (so far)... I've built up
several sets of SA drum hub wheels (8 and 3 speed rear; dynamo front),
and I REALLY like these hubs... They are relatively inexpensive, and
the (drum) braking is outstanding. I'd expect the cassette drum hub
to be no different. I just ordered another set of 3 speed and dynamo
drum hubs for my second Gazelle restoration (the first was highly
successful, and the new owner absolutely loves the bike).

I'd give these hubs a big two thumbs up for outstanding value!

I have a Cross-Check setup with Sturmey-Archer Drums front and back (the 90mm XL versions).    I'd say the brakes work about as well as anything else, but I haven't tried them on any really long, really steep roads (can't climb up them anyway with the 5-speed hub).

They make cable routing a little more tricky, but they sure do look cool.

I rode from Santa Rosa to Seattle on a Pashley Guvnor equipped with Sturmey Archer drums brakes F/R. Our route included some long mountain descents, and I never had a problem with the brakes. Even on 10-15 mile-long descents, they worked perfectly.

Yes, it's a singlespeed.

I like the next shot in the series where you pull the plow:

Eric,
You are my hero for riding that thing that far. Nicely done sir.

I definitely felt that way.  "Nigel," my Guvnor, weighs in at about 35 pounds, so he was a bit of a load to push all the way to Seattle. Great memories, though.

Eric Norris, thy name is stud.

Having driven that route, I cannot even imagine doing it on a 35lb
single speed. I shall think of you the next time I begin to softly
whine going up Tolt Rd Hill on my 23lb bike in 34/28.
