Just a short post to introduce you to a part that I have available on eBay.
HSA 295, the Sturmey Archer Axle Key!
Nothing much to it. This is the part that accepts the indicator (toggle) chain that you see from outside the hub! Pretty small, super powerful. From some internet sleuthing I've figure out the thread pitch is 3/32 x 48TPI. This is a British Standard Whitworth fine thread. The threads DO NOT match a Fichtel & Sachs indicator chain, but a Sachs indicator would thread in there if you absolutely had to use one. The Fichtel & Sachs key has a 2mm x .25mm thread and is rounded on one side:
See you next week with a new part!
Soooooo, any idea where to get the Sachs version? I wrote a guy in Germany about it but he was uninterested in sending me a part that cost two euros. Ha Ha. What a pain!
ReplyDeleteI would contact Aaron at Rideyourbike.com - that would be my strongest lead. I had one but sold it last year... it went really fast. Sorry man.
