sounds like http://www.sturmey-archerheritage.com/index.php?page=history-detail&id=165
Thats a newer version, thanks for the link though found this which is mine.
You might be able to unscrew it by just poking in a small flat-head screwdriver and twisting.
Tried that, plus some pliers, plus gluing something to get a hold on plus bashing with screwdriver plus drilling and trying to use a screw extractor. Eventually i manned up and dismantled the entire thing and removed it. Will give everything a good clean and grease/oil up. Any recommendations?
^ worked for me :-) measure the thing tho, not all linkages are the same. tip of thread to the first link in the chain i believe.
I think the reason it broke was perhaps someone had used the wrong one so I've looked at the manual and ordered what I think is the right one. Hopefully it will come sharpish and i can put stuff back together.
Then I hope the shifter works as a new one is as much as the bike. One the bottom right

The chain thing often gets broken. I bought a new one for about a fiver a couple of years ago. Think I got it off ebay:

Cheers, mine has snapped inside of the axle so i proving difficult to remove. Just need to get hold of some really thin needle nose pliers i think...

Seems a good deal to me.

Just got one of these on a bike, I've never seen one like it before. There are two sets of cables going to either side of the hub and running into one single massive plastic shifter.
Upon looking on the hub the little chain thing is broken where it goes into the nut on the non-drive-side. Does anybody know if this is a replaceable parts and if its difficult to fix.
Any help on this is much appreciated I haven't the foggiest.

I'm using a 9 speed cassette on non-indexed downtube shifters no problem I might possibly have some problems in the future with accelerated chain wear, though. Maybe watchout for the OLD on the rear hub, as older ones may be slightly narrower(?)
Thanks, I'd thought OLD may be a problem, but the frame is steel so we may be able to squeeze it in.
It's really a case of 'ok if it fits'. If there's enough room on the hub and the thread fits, it should be fine. My first proper road bike (back in '78) had the traditional 13-18 block and over the years I changed it to 6 & then 7 speed. The original chain was swapped though.
Thanks
The main problem, as far as I can see, is having enough manual dexterity to move the shifter lever just the right amount to accurately change gear.
That itll be his problem, i offered him an 8speed indexed shifter.
Easiest to just go with 7 if (s)he was previously using a 6-speed.
Cassette/freehub is almost always preferable to using a screw on freewheel.
I'm willing to be there is nothing particularly obsolete about his/her Maillard hub.
its a helicomatic thing. are they still about?

My mate was looking to replace the 6 speed cassette on his old peugeot eith something more suitable for hills. He went to the LBS and they informed him he had some obsolete maillard hub, so he was looking into getting some new wheels.
I showed him these. But i was wondering what kind of compatibility issues might arise. He has non-indexed shifters so i was wondering what speed cassette he could run? would he get away with an 8 speed or 7 with some kind of spacer?
Can anyone offer any wisdom? Links to suitable cassette solutions are well received.
