info on internal hubs and shifters

[expjawa]

Any of them come complete with shifter, cable, installation hardware, etc. The information is all right there. Just choose whether you want the one with the drum brake, or if you want the brakeless version (are you using a rim brake?). I'm assuming that you don't want the one with the disc brake mount. This link is to a brakeless one already set up for the narrower OLD: http://tinyurl.com/7unpz5w

Installing an internal gear hub - or any hub, for that matter - really boils down to wheelbuilding. You take a rim, the hub, and a pile of spokes and you'll have to lace it all together, true it, and tension it. A lot of folks find it intimidating, but I feel that's easily overcome with knowledge. I understand that isn't technically difficult, but can be tedious. I've not done it myself yet, so I can't advise on it in any greater depth. However, I can tell you that there are many websites and videos online that take you through the process.

Try doing a little research - google "bicycle wheelbuilding" or something similar. Read and review the various sites you find until you find one that makes the most sense to you. Also, keep in mind that if you don't feel comfortable with doing it, you always have the option of having your local bike shop do it. Chances are, they'll appreciate the business...
