Not possible with any hub I know of. You need a chain or belt-driven drive train to use a multi-speed hub.

Wow. Now that's a confusing question. This hub is 2 speed not 3. I cannot imagine how "no chain" works. But if you have some way of pedalling the hub I can say this is a great auto mechanism. Smooth and efficient. But Its designed to work with a chain. Good luck. Ian.

It would depend on the drive train, but usually, no. A Tricycle drivetrain usually requires 2 sprockets. One which services the chain ring from the peddles, while the other services the axle. Shimano makes a three speed tricycle transmission that is identical with this hub but it essentially has a chair ring attached to the flange forming another sprocket on the hub. In order to make this hub work for your purpose you would need to do such an adjustment and to be honest it would not only void the warranty but likely cost as much as the difference between the hub and transmission. Sturmey Archer also makes a tricycle transmission. I believe that you can find them at Niagara Cycles site (they sell on Amazon) if you can not get it directly through Amazon's site.

No, unfortunately this is not possible. Its very low in 3 wheeled model... and make it up only in 2 wheel mode

It's still a free wheeled system. Fixie is a bad name for it. It should just say single speed. All it does is provide spacers and a lock ring for a cassette, along with a cog. So in short, no, not fixed.

You would need a 10 sped chain (thinner than 9 sped to fit the 10 speed cogs) Also you may need a different front derailleur if going from a double to a triple Shimano has a Web site technical documents specifications or call Shimano technical departmeant

No, the hub spacing is too wide for any front fork I know of. In addition, rear wheels are dished(biased to one side to accommodate the drivetrain) which would make for some strange and probably dangerous handling.

If you mean an internal 3 speed rear hub, I don't see why not. It's a standard 120mm width at the rear dropouts and should fit an internal gear hub just fine. It looks like any standard length and width spindles should fit.

One side of a flip flop hubs is for this single speed cassette and the other is for a single cog that requires a lock nut. This cassette will also fit on a hub that was designed for a multi speed hub in which case you would have converted it to a single speed. To do this, depending on the dropouts on your frame, you will have to either shorten the chain or add in a chain tensioner. For vertical drop outs you have to add the tensioner.

Shimano offers both a 2x9 shifter (if you have two front chain rings) and a 3x9 (if you have three front chain rings). If you are not sure, go to your bike and count the chain rings on your crank. This is not a mistake. It reads as though you are looking for the 2x9 front shifter and not the 3x9.

That should work out fine. Just be sure to get the hub with the coaster (back pedal) brake. I assume that you are getting a complete wheel but if you are building a wheel you'll need new spokes since the hub diameter of the 8 speed is much larger than the 3 speed.

of course, i have a miami sun trike, and it was one speed!!!! this sturmey archer-sun 3-speed coaster brake hub is ideal to convert from one speed to three speed!!!! i'm absolutely satisfied!!!!!!

mine was single speed coaster brakes alloy. They do sell a 3 speed model, so look at your discription ! Very nice looking bike and lightweight

not exactly...this is a 14 tooth (small cog) which means your top speed will be different and it is possible that some of the intermediate cogs could have different tooth counts also. Plus you want to make sure you have a thread on hub as this is. (screws on and off). If yours isn't a screw on then you need a "cassette" type.

The width of this Strumey-Archer might be too big to fit where the single speed hub is. Go to the Sturmey web site and get the dimensions so you can measure your bike.

Dear Juice: There are two systems. One is the older-style freewheel where the cog unit goes screwed on the hub of the rear wheel. This Shimano Tourney is one of those screw-on cogs. The newer system is where the cog unit -called a cassette- goes pushed and then locked on a splined extension of the hub. Both systems are not compatible. My advise is get a bike mechanic or a friend who knows the difference between the two systems have a look at your bike and tell you which system it has before you spend the money :-) Hope this helps, Andy :-)

No you can not. You would have to replace the hub, a lot of work. Zerolite makes a singlespeed wheel.

I had a similar setup before switching over with no problems... BEST move I made was switching from the old to the UN55 Shimano BB...
