Another challenge to keep life interesting. Building a wheel with a Cannondale Lefty hub. This is a hub with no axle as it mounts to a single leg fork that has the spindle mounted to it. I have the adapter necessary for mounting a standard Lefty hub in the stand, but this time, I'm dealing with the fatty version. Here is my hack to make it work. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AgDK4QtOv7o

I recently ventured deep inside the new version of Sturmey Archer's 5 speed hub to bring you this close up look at how it works. Enjoy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ew9v8soSC5c

Here's a video I made to promote my gearhub conversion services. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RSTQFb_Sxoo

I had an opportunity to service a 1950 BSA 3 speed recently.This hub is a copy of a Sturmey Archer X model from very early in the 20th century. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EvKyiajpTEo

I am still a fan of the good old cup and cone axle bearing design. My view is validated in this piece by John Barnett.
