SA IGH spare parts

[tykoehn1]

Here is a link to a website that sells spare parts for the IGH. I also attached a pdf of the parts list for the RX-RK5. I am assuming the parts with work on our RSK-RK5.

I tried calling them this morning and the phone is not working. I also sent them an email. Hope they are not another victim of COVID.

Ugh that would suck! I'll let you know if I get through

He responded and is mailing the new rear axle. The other parts seem undamaged.

I'll be interested in the details of your re-assembly and setup. This 3 speed hub looks like the same dimensions and if that's so, it might swap out pretty easily. Any thoughts?

That was my plan b. Plan c is a rohloff haha

Yeah, the Rohloff would be the BMW tranny but would I'm sure, still require a light touch. Thanks for blazing this trail ...

Seems like tuning really takes the initial jolt away which would cause the most damage. I saw wattwagons uses the 3 speed standard

New axles came in! I ordered a spare.

Came with a book of matches ... that is old school.

The axle length is too short with the 185mm axle. I contact SA but I have a feeling they don't sell spare axles...

 

[RMK!]

So, what is the correct axel length for the SA on the MD 1000?

Not yet but the o.l.d. measurement is about 190mm. I contacted the parts seller and he told me he has the longer axles on order so I can swap the axles I bought for the correct ones.

I used to repair my SA drives, but fond that buying new and changing out the guts was a far better solution. YMMV!

I'm finding that might be easier but it's hard to find the rsx-rk5. Any ideas where I can find one?

Unfortunately that is the incorrect hub. I need 190mm spacing

My frame spacing is 190mm so that won't fit. I need an axle much longer than 185mm
