Internal hub gears/Winter bikes

[bigsharn]

I'm bored shitless sat here doing not a lot, so I'm writing a sort of tutorial.

Bearing in mind I'm into the really obscure aspects of cycling, such as recumbents and 3+ wheelers, this is an incredibly tame topic as far as the eccentricity goes. There are VERY few resources on the web as regards to internal gear hubs, and the main one at sheldonbrown.org is slightly outdated (God rest his soul).

So, hands up how many people know about internal hub gears? Nobody? It's not really a surprise.

Click any of the links below to go to the relevant post. on that subject, any questions? Feel free to ask.

Because mcompute seems to splice posts together you'll have to CTRL+F for the navigation to work, but I've sorted that out below
• History •
• Sturmey Archer •
• SRAM •
• Rohloff •
• Shimano •
• Nuvinci •
• Schlumpf •
• Pros and Cons •
• Hybrid gearing •
• Winter bikes •
• Hub dynamos •
• Glossary •

I think that's about all I can tell you on the subject to be honest. Of course I'll have to go off and research the shimano gear systems a bit more but other than that, I hope this has helped.
