Hi Stevan,
A goldmine for S-A info is Tony Hadland's site:
http://hadland.net/
Here,if you click on the link "how to repair old Sturmey-Archer hubs" you
can download all sorts of Sturmey Archer factory manuals detailing
dissasembly and assembly of most post war hubs, including ASC. Also there is
a link to Pheonix Hub Gear repair, a valuable parts and service recource for
obsolete S-A.
5) Would I be better off with a 4 or 5 speed alloy hub? I'm thinking
about
the ratio spacing.
The S5 and the FW have identical ratios save for the super high 150% gear
available with the S5 ( recent Sprinter 5 hubs have same ratios as the S5).
Most people feel that the FM hub (medium ratio 4 speed) offers the best set
of ratios for sporting road use. This item just ended on ebay:
