Marco,

I think it should be possible to get O.L.D. down to 125.7 mm.

Hi Kurt,

Do you still want a blow up of the SG-7R40 hub?

Regards

Vance

Hi Marco
Do you have a 36 spoke Duomatic hub for sale?

I’m trying to re-create the special I built when I was about 14-15.

Thanks

Reid

Hi,

Great Site, well done. Not sure if it has been mentioned but in your photos you show the two different kinds of Duomatic without making mention of this. The first two of the dis-assembled hub are a newer Duomatic. The photo of the assembled mechanism just above the greasing instructions is a different design, the old Duomatic. As will be noted, they are really different. The older one has two sets of pawls that engage in different directions. The newer one has a brown plastic ring that clicks around a bit like the mechanism on the top of a Biro pen.

Hi Sean,

There are two models of duomatic hub,
the older R102, which has flats on the axle,
and the newer R2110 which has a round axle
(not flats) and teeth on the right-hand cone.

From your description it sounds like you have
the older R012 model.

Hope this helps,

John I

My duomatic has a funny noise one in a while.

When I am in second gear, and I use the brake, then I pedal a bit in first gear, then I shift to second again, sometimes after a few rotations of the pedals, there is a “knock” sound in the hub. I can’t figure out what might cause that.

Any ideas?

I plan to reuild the entire hub soon.

Also, what type of oil is recommended for the oil port on the hub?

For my SA 3 speed hubs I use chainsaw bar oil which is similar to “phil’s tenacious oil” but slightly thinner and less sticky.

Thanks!

I am confused about the comments on several articles about the “right side cone teeth”.

The cones on my duomatic are perfectly flat with no teeth.

I filed a pair of keyed washers from a sturmey 3 speed (the sturmey axle was slightly smaller than the sachs axle) and those keep the axle from spinning.

Am I missing something? Why do you need cone teetch when the axle has flats on it?

Clarification is appreciated

I wish I could understand what they are saying. Although I get the gist without any translation.

I may replace the spare tire in my volvo wagon with a folding bike instead!
