I'm so glad I stumbled across this. I found a bicycle by the side of the road with this exact shifter. At first, I couldn't see anything happening. So, I just thought it was a fake shifter and considered removing it. It wasn't until I looked it up and found out it was a 1973 Columbia Tourist 3 with a 3 speed hub. A few UA-cam videos later and I suddenly realized "Oh. The shifting happens INSIDE the hub."
Love it. Thanks for the help. Never had one of these. Buddy just gave me a on the last legs trike and you help me out. Thanks for not going into a life story
Thank you as a lover of the classic style bikes every video on UA-cam is about mountain biking. The internal hubs are as much as I can stand because I just hate all the complex extra gears.
Josh, Great video. I have an older Men's Kent bike and I need a new shifter cable with the knurled adjustment fixture. Any idea where to get one of those?
A question, how does the gear cable attach to the barrel at the back? I'd love to see one that shows how it connects as I have a 3 speed like yours, even same shifters. I got given it and it has no gear cable attached
Just got an 85 or so Schwinn Collegiate with a lot of miles on it. The 3cc works perfectly. Supposedly, the 3cc is an weak part as these things go, it seems pretty strong to me! Oh yeah, the way I get it, you're supposed to stop pedaling when you shift. It certainly works better on mine when i stop pedaling.
Most pedals are a 15mm unless it’s an older bike. American companies will be a 9/16 or half inch. Some French companies use a weird thread though. Remember they are reverse thread also.

Кто производитель этой втулки? Ищу такую, но пока безуспешно, на складной велосипед планирую установить. Нужно чтобы привод переключения передач был слева, но таких сейчас нет в продаже.
@@JoshHarrisRides Да, ты конечно прав, 3-скоростные втулки продаются и их много, но у всех у них привод переключения находится справа, но я ищу привод слева, такой вариант очень трудно найти, у меня пока не получилось.

I did this to my bike and now you can't tell the shifter is the same one and it works so good keep up the good work
Very helpful sir. I don’t know the name of this hub but your information was valuable. It will help me in restoring this bike.
You're a life save my guy. Thanks a bunch!
My Mom had an orange free spirit. Great tip! Thanks, Josh.👍🏼🤘🏼😎

Thank you really helpful and will really help me sort my old puch 70’s tourer ! Thanks

Im going to do a shop tour soon.
Josh, Great video. I have an older Men's Kent bike and I need a new shifter cable with the knurled adjustment fixture. Any idea where to get one of those?
Thank you! Super helpful !
A question, how does the gear cable attach to the barrel at the back? I'd love to see one that shows how it connects as I have a 3 speed like yours, even same shifters. I got given it and it has no gear cable attached
How did you install coast brakes with the 3 speed?
Curious how gear changing assembly comes apart on the Free Spirit comes off to replace tire
What the name of hub maker? Looking to replace the cable on mine.
My Free Spirit is stuck in 3rd. Good information, The gear shifter does not move.
I have a 3 speed all pro bicycle. I need to disconnect the back tire from the gears can you please help me
Гуд! А где купить переключатель?
The shop looks great! You need a mic in there though. It wasn't picking up your voice very well.
Tengo una bicicleta igual muy buena
How can you oil it so it's smoother running?
How can change the back tube ?
my hawthorn 3 speed had the same issue
Just got an 85 or so Schwinn Collegiate with a lot of miles on it. The 3cc works perfectly. Supposedly, the 3cc is an weak part as these things go, it seems pretty strong to me!
Oh yeah, the way I get it, you're supposed to stop pedaling when you shift. It certainly works better on mine when i stop pedaling.
I didn't think you should pedal when changing gears with internal hub????
my hawthorn was a 1973 model
J ai une roue pareille a toi et ma roue original me bike is Sturmey archer aw england end 3 speedhob or hub
we call them coaster brakes in kanuckistan.
What do you do if the rear wheel locked up? Breaks are not stuck on. I have one with hand breaks, and free wheels.
I would try disassembling the hub. May need to be greased
@@JoshHarrisRides there not junk when they lock up?
Not always. Depends how much time you want to put into it.
What is the name Shift.
Name with pin on the inside.
Me kit motor gaz is niome 100cc..end guizmo 80cc
How do you change the pedals?
Most pedals are a 15mm unless it’s an older bike. American companies will be a 9/16 or half inch. Some French companies use a weird thread though. Remember they are reverse thread also.

эта втулка была сделана свободным духом. Я не верю, что их больше не производят. Попробуйте исследовать 3-скоростную велосипедную втулку.
@@JoshHarrisRides Да, ты конечно прав, 3-скоростные втулки продаются и их много, но у всех у них привод переключения находится справа, но я ищу привод слева, такой вариант очень трудно найти, у меня пока не получилось.
Я никогда не видел ни одного. удачи
