Hello,
I've bought one of these TF hubs recently, from our most esteemable fellow list member Hilary Stone. Does anyone know where I might find a special freewheel for a Sturmey Archer TF hub? Unlike most freewheels, the TF hub freewheel has splines, so doesn't take a standard SA freewheel.
As backstory, I was coveting a Rohloff Speedhub for a minimalist decouplable touring bike, but I figured that the Rohloff Speedhub just isn't minimalist enough. It sounds like a kitchen whisk, which makes me all the more happy with the silent TF. I figure that it would be very handy to take when touring. Just like a flip-flop really, I would use a low geared freewheel for the hills, and a higher geared fixed sprocket for the flats, but with the added advantage of a 25% gear drop to hand when the 3 course lunch at some really nice village bistro catches up with me on a climb.
