Our take
As a enthusiast of vintage bikes, this Nankai 3-speed coaster brake hub is a fantastic find for restorations or period-correct repairs. The 40-hole design is classic for robust 26-inch wheels, common on many vintage touring and city bikes. Having a 3-speed internal gear system integrated with a coaster brake is quite practical, offering gear versatility while keeping the drivetrain exceptionally clean and low-maintenance. The steel construction ensures durability, which is paramount for older bikes. Its broad compatibility with many classic brands like Raleigh and Sturmey Archer makes it a valuable component. Just remember, it's a hub, so you'll need to build it into a wheel.
