Ok, thanks. That one would be too low for me with that particular setup - I currently have 47/63/84 and am looking to get a little lower and somewhat higher.
Sorry, forgot to say..he's on holiday...oops.Yeah, I emailed him but no reply
Yeah, I meant already built wheels, sorry I should have been clearer.5 speed Sturmey hubs are still in production.
Have a look at www.sturmey-archer.com/

Ok, well you'd just have to change your chainring and/or sprocket size then.Ok, thanks. That one would be too low for me with that particular setup - I currently have 47/63/84 and am looking to get a little lower and somewhat higher.
I don't know if you can get 36 hole 16" rims. I've tried looking for some to build QR trailer wheels and haven't managed to find any.Note, the Sturmey Archer 5 speed x-rf5(w) seems to 36 holes so you probably need to change the rim too.
Cheers.Yes 36 hole 16" rims are available, St John Street Cycles sell them, Sun CR18 model
I'd post the link but for some reason this website doesn't let me paste into posts when using the browsers on my tablet.
Just Google 349mm rim 36 hole and it will come up.
Shouldn't be a problem if the wheel is laced properly with the valve hole in the right place, see this picture of a 36 hole Brompton rim with an electric motor front hub,2585677 said:36,spokes between a SA hub and a 16" rim would leave very little space to get a pump onto the valve.
