I recently bought a second-hand Raleigh with a 3-speed Sturmey Archer gears.
Unfortunately it seems to be stuck in top gear as the rear wheel always turns around more times than the crank no matter what gear I select.
The chain that goes in to the hub moves in an out freely, there is a slight amount of slack in it when the gear lever is at 1 and it is taught when it's at 2 or 3. Is this correct?
If the selection mechanism is broken then is it possible to adjust it so the bike is always in 2nd (1:1) gear? It would make it a lot more easier to ride. Thanks.
