| Reportedly, SunRace/Sturmey-Archer is considering doing a new production run of the ASC 3-speed fixed-gear hub, or an updated version of it. Given SunRace's track record with Sturmey-Archer, I would expect a new version to be more reliable than the original. They're not certain about how much demand there might be for it though.
