And soon to be three if FSA ever gets their stuff out. It looks like Sampson and Sturmer-Archer are putting out complete drivetrains. I don't like the der. look on the Sampson, I dig the Sturmer-Archer though. Its good to see more competition, maybe it will drive prices down?

It's great that they knocked Shimano off on the shifter to enter the game.

LOL, I thought the same thing

I hope Sturmer-Archer focuses on internal gearing and minimal maintenance stuff. I think the market is there. Like a reliable 14 speed hub for $400 since Rolhof is >$1k.

Do they make nice internal geared hubs? I've never heard of them before this article

I think they compete in the same internal hub market as Shimano. 3-8 gears, reasonably priced.

No one can touch a rolhof, but that sh!ts crazy expensive.

You Must be joking ! how do you think Shimano got its start ? making cheap Knock off's of the SA internal 3 speed. also if you need any SA 3 speed Hubs, I have 3 of them ( and can get more )
