I have now had confirmation that the hubs will be available by 1st November, it would have been now but SA Holland forgot to ship the sprockets with the hubs.
1. The first shipment hub shells are in machined alloy matt finish, with a SA logo
2. The O.L.D choice is 120 or 130mm
3. Sprocket are a new design with 8 large and 1 small location spline, in 1/8" X 1/2"
pitch, in 3 sizes 13, 15, 16, teeth
4. Gear changer supplied with hub set is the bar end type, but I have ordered the handle
bar lever type if you prefer.
5. Gear ratio is 3rd gear direct, 2nd gear minus 75%, 1st gear minus 62%.
6. SA will be offering a matching chain wheel sets in 42, 44, 46, & 48 teeth, but when
these were made to suit the 8 speed only 2 types were ever offered for sale,
so this is a wait & see item
7. Finally the most important bit the price, I envisage the hub set will retails @ £175 this
may be cheaper, it depends on the quantity discount I can sweat from my supplier.
