Wheels With Internal Gear Hubs

Upgrade To Reliable Internal Gearing!

Harris Cyclery makes a specialty of internal hub gearing for bicycles.

We offer internal gearing options from 2 to 14 speeds, from Rohloff, Schlumpf, Shimano, SRAM and Sturmey-Archer.

We have separate Web pages for each of these gear systems, both for the gear units themselves, and for complete bicycles.

This page is for folks who would like to buy a complete wheel or kit to build up or convert an existing bike to internal hub gearing.

Hand built by our supplier!  $319.95 

Shimano Alfine SG-S501 8 Speed internal gear hub, laced into Sun CR18 700c rim (Presta drilled) 32 DT Competition double-butted stainless steel spokes.

Hub comes with 20t sprocket and two sets of non-turn washers (blue/green) and (silver/white).

If your older steel frame has spacing narrower than 130 mm, it is not difficult to "cold set" or spring it to install one of these wheels. See: Sheldon Brown's Frame Spacing Article for detailed instructions.
