Carlos, I’m guessing here, but after measuring, 2.8 (mm?) is very close to the spoke hole size on my 36h Automatic hub.

Hello Marco and fellow ‘Duo-maniacs’

I was wondering if the ‘Duomatic 102′ can be spaced-out (with washers) to fit 120mm OLN dropouts, or do you always have to re-set the frame?

As Eric asks above, I would also like to know which readily-available oil I can safely use in the hub. I have an old can of Sturmey oil but it’s down to the dregs…

Many thanks

Hi Philip,

>I’m sad to say I broke my F&S Automatic.

That’s too bad!

> How could I have broken it?

What size front chainring are you using?
A low gear puts alot of strain on the hub.
Do you ride very strenuously?

>Can I replace the part?

Try this website:

http://www.scheunefun.de

The site is in German,
but it is easy to navigate.
The owner Jens Hansen and he is
very friendly and will answer emails in English.
He should have the part you need.

Good luck!

Hello Marco,

I’m sad to say I broke my F&S Automatic. I have a couple of questions: How could I have broken it? Can I replace the part?

Thanks for the feedback. I’ve disassembled and reassembled the hub. It’s still a 2-speed. One thing that is not clear to me is the function of the internal tooth on the carrier unit. On the hub I’m working on, the internal tooth is free to rotate. Is it supposed to be able to rotate like this? I’m thinking that it should not be able to rotate freely. Input??

Marco i’m sorry to insist but 2.8 can´t be the mumber of spokeholes. My hub has 36 spokeholes. tks
