Drum brake hub set Sturmey Archer

The advantage of drum brakes is that the system is completely sealed and thus protected from external influences. Water and dirt have no effect on the braking performance and the system remains practically maintenance-free. Should you need to replace something after intensive use, you will find all the necessary spare parts here. The hub runs on easily replaceable industrial bearings and can be used with front suspension as well as with rigid steering kingposts.

Sturmey Archer is a traditional manufacturer of gear hubs for bicycles. In 1902, the foundation stone for the company was laid in Nottingham, UK, when Sir Frank Bowden commissioned Henry Sturmey, a teacher, and James Archer, an engineer, to work together to produce gear hubs for his Bowden bicycles. After a long and successful company history, the company was taken over by SunRace in 2002 and production was relocated to Taiwan, which further increased the quality of the products.
