I have an old internal shifting Sturmey Archer hub that is from July 1957. I was told that it was a three speed, but i built it into a 700c wheel, and tried to adjust it with a three speed shifter, but it would only shift into two speeds. I looked it up and it is a three speed. It's a TCW model, Sturmey Archer three speed internal shifting hub. The only thing i can say is that it is very confused about what it wants to be now that it's 56 years old, i think that it's going through a mid life crisis or something. I went looking on Google and the first thing that came up was Sheldon Brown.com about the different types of Sturmey Archer hubs. That's how i found out that it was a three speed. I'm going to be opening it up tomorrow to see whats wrong with it. I will be taking lots of pictures as I go along in the process of opening it up and fixing it. See you all tomorrow...
Keep on Biking.....
Sheldon brow is a great place to start.
