Thanks, good news is that a Sturmey Archer hub gear changer is still available. Hope your local mechanic can sort it. I'm doing the same with one of my bikes with cantilever brakes. Beyond my very limited ability!

Hi Shivaji, is it definitely the hub gear that's playing up? With mine it's the drum brakes that can tighten up and reduce me to a crawl.

I was returning to work after lunch once and thought I saw a colleague on the other side of the road. I shouted 'oy!' and flicked a nonchalant V sign at her. Got back to the office and there was my colleague, who hadn't moved from her desk in the previous hour.
