- Installing and Adjusting 3-Speed Wheels
- text/0/21
- Install 3-speed rear wheels just
- like coaster brake wheels. Many
- have a "non-turn" washer on the
- axle that sticks into the slot of
- the frame to keep the axle from
- rotating. Avoid squishing it.
-
- STURMEY-ARCHER 3-SPEED HUB:
- Hold the shifter exactly between
- 3rd and 2nd gear. Turn the connec-
- tion between the cable and the
- little chain until you can turn
- the pedals forward without turning
- the rear wheel. When this
- "neutral" is directly between 3rd
- and 2nd, the adjustment is
- correct. Tighten the little knur-
- led nut on the indicator chain.

- SHIMANO 3-SPEED HUB:
- Screw the lever assembly onto the
- axle approximately 7 turns. Put
- the shifter into 2nd gear and
- connect the cable to the lever
- assembly. Turn this connection
- until the line and circle on the
- lever itself aligns with the slot
- in the lever housing.

- All 3-SPEEDS
- If the cable seems too long or
- short, reposition the cable stop
- band on the bike frame. If there
- is a small pulley, make sure the
- cable is in it's groove.
- if the adjustment 'floats,'
- the cable may be rusty or kinked
- and should be replaced.
