Check the number of spokes on ya shopper!!

I want it on decent 36h rim coz it might end up on a 24" after the Falcon Pro Flyer experiment!!

I think the newer SunRace owned Sturmey Archer Hubs dont have eliminated the notorious neutral setting problem, according to various cycling forums and Sheldons website.

Here you go Mongey  :-*, you want the 171.2mm axle version which has 113mm axle spacing, which if you needed to you can use smaller lockrings on to make it 110 ish but 113 should be fine
