Guys ... didn't think about different single chain thickness. Will do bench set-up and gap at 2 - 3mm. No front DeR, switching manually so only need clearence and ease of moving chain.
Couldn't have done without all your help.

Hoog ... thx, all need now is proper spacing for two front chainrings using single 1/8" chain. The Sturmey hubs are no longer a problem.

Sorry for delay thanking you guys.
Was waiting for dealer reply.
Said to return, but believe I will be paying for shipping and repairs.
Guessing not worth the effort so thinking about doing my own surgery.
It most likely will be terminal as I have no idea what I'm doing.
Ebay videos look like no help.

So, if you guys can help, I plan to use two crank chainrings with my 3 speed that will essentially do the same thing as a 5 speed.

Can someone give me the optimum spacer size for the 1/8" chain?
Thanks, Zene

Thx, hope this helps: Brand new, rod easily removed it is positioned all the way in.
It worked initially but could not get into first. Just rode easily a bit and planned on adjusting later.
No noise, it just locked up tight
and I wasn't riding when it seized. It will not rotate in either direction.

Will do, thx.
It's a SRC 5 (w) trike conversion.

Hi ... my new Sturmey 5 speed trike hub is locked. Will not turn. Chain is almost all the way in and will not pull out even a fraction. Is there anything I can do short of returning?
Thanks, Zene
