Speeds: 3/Speed
Designed for 3-speed internal hub gearing systems, this shifter is fully compatible with Sturmey Archer 3-speed hubs such as the AW, S-RF3, SRC3, and SX3. It provides accurate indexing across all three gears, ensuring smooth performance for city commuting, touring, and leisure cycling.
Clamp Size: 22.2mm
The shifter features a 22.2mm clamp diameter, which is the standard size for most bicycle handlebars. This allows for easy mounting without modification and ensures a secure fit. It’s compatible with vintage upright bars as well as modern handlebars within the same standard size.
Color: Black
The main shifter body is finished in black with a silver faceplate and bold red "3 Speed" graphics. This combination provides a classic, retro appearance that matches vintage bicycles while still offering a clean, timeless look for restorations.
Left/Right/Pair: Right
This is a right-hand side shifter, specifically intended to control the rear internal 3-speed hub. It is not designed as a pair and is not meant for left-hand side use. Perfect as a direct replacement for right-side gear control.
Style: Old School
This model is designed in the old-school / vintage style, replicating the look and feel of traditional Sturmey Archer 3-speed thumb shifters. Ideal for restoring Schwinn, Raleigh, and English touring bikes to their original specification, it keeps the bike period-correct while ensuring reliable function.
