Moulton AM5 Sturmey Archer hub

[AndyPat]

My Moulton AM5 now has a new 17" wheel with a Sturmey X-RF8 hub thanks to https://www.traditionalcycleshop.co.uk/
How do I like the upgrade? Well it is very early days, but the gears are good, the trigger change is slick and quick, although when changing down to the lowest gears my thumb movement is stretched to the limit. The wide 30% step to the lowest gear is OK for when I really need it. The 30% step to the highest gear is too big but at that speed I don't really need to pedal at an optimum cadence. The six inner gears are closer than the SA5 and are the same spacing as a Rohloff. This just means I change more often but always have a good gear.
