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.
