Review on Silver Sturmey Archer S80 8-Speed Hub with Disc Brake - 36h, Enhanced SEO by Issac Smart

This hub works well if you can handle a loud ratcheting noise that gets louder as the gear ratio increases. It bothered me so much I changed it 3 times at the local bike shop (could even hear it over the music on my ipod in my headphones) with no improvement. It gets the job done, but if you want a smooth ride, do what I did and get a Shimano Nexus. The cost is about the same (minus the switch). But you end up losing some translation unless your Lance Armstrong notices that badly. Just my two cents and that's it, happy driving boys. :)
