@YakyuNightOwl @ai6yr I recall someone asking on a bike forum whether the #Shimano #Alfine hubs last as long as #SturmeyArcher ones and the answer was basically "we don't know yet. Alfine has only been out 20 years and there are plenty of Sturmeys from the 1930s still going"

I've had an ongoing #bicycle project with my Raleigh Bista #frankenbike over the last few months.
It's a real 'Triggers Broom' bike with only the frame remaining (which was found in a hedge a few decades ago).
The latest job has been replacing the #SturmeyArcher 3 speed coaster hub with 3 speed with a drum brake, and at the same time reducing the gearing to something sensible.
Some fool had ordered a new sprocket without realising that the rest of the drive train was 3/32" rather than 1/8"
Ah well - new sprocket and (just to be on the safe side) a new chain on order.

Eine #SturmeyArcher ist keine #Rohloff. Seit dem großen Regen kann ich nicht mehr schalten. #Brompton

Finally converted my fixie to a singlespeed with a coaster brake!
These hubs are so unpopular, that I had to order one from the Netherlands 😄
I used to ride such bikes as a teenager, and missed the simplicity of it. So far so good, am adjusting to the bike, but the rides got noticeably less intense.

After three+ months of daily use and about 2000km, I finally remembered to take some pictures of my most recent build, a #Surly PackRat frame I built up as a #commuter with a #SturmeyArcher #3speed hub in back, generator hub up front, porteur rack (with a Swift Polaris bag) and some weirdo CrMo #Nitto handlebars.

@jon for fast punctures, you patch without removing the wheel (which I also do on derailleur #bikes) or use a sealant rescue can, but slow punctures you just keep pumping up. Shimano wheels are harder to remove and replace correctly than #SturmeyArcher ones too, I found.

Yesterday I broke the #gearbox of my wife's #bike. I had to change the tube inside the rear tire, and I didn't reattach the rear wheel correctly. I kept turning the nut only on one side until I eventually twisted off the threading of the gear indicator pin.
I identified the gearbox to be a #SturmeyArcher Sprinter S5C Coaster, which was made between 1994 and 1999. I'm gonna have to take the whole thing apart on the weekend. 😩🔧
