===Die Sturmey-Archer Geschichte=== | ===Die Sturmey-Archer Geschichte=== | ||
Im Sommer des Jahres 1887 beugte sich ein sonnengebräunter, schwitzender Engländer tief über sein ungeschaltetes Fahrrad, während er sich auf der Jagd nach körperlicher Ertüchtigung auf der hügeligen Straße von St. Geours nach Bayonne - im Hügelvorland der Pyrenäen des südwestlichen Frankreichs - quälte. Von Zeit zu Zeit musste er absteigen als zum Ende seines 30 km Ritts die Route immer hügeliger wurde. Er wanderte mit seiner Maschine alle fünf bis 6 Kilometer. Der Name des Engländers war Frank Bowden. Abwechselnd segnete er während seines Ritts gründlich sein Fahrrad, das ihn so schnell half, seinen Körper wieder zu ertüchtigen, der nach 15 Jahren im schwächenden Klima des fernen Ostens erschlafft war, und verfluchte ausführlich die Hügel. Aus diesen zwei Emotionen heraus wurden die raliegh Cycly Company und die Sturmey-Archer Gangschaltungen erschaffen. | |||

Soon after his discovery of the beneficial effects of cycling, Bowden acquired a financial interest in a small bicycle work shop in Raleigh Street, Nottingham-which he was later to form into the Raleigh Cycle Company. He foresaw the possibilities of the bicycle, but ever since his hill trips in France he had in mind the desirability of a variable gear on the machine to help cope with gradients if cycling were to become a popular pastime and not simply the plaything of health and physical fitness addicts. | |||
All that manufacturers could then offer to help the gearing problem was a detachable chainring, made in the Raleigh Street works. Bowden took full advantage of this and on his cycling business visits around the country he would study beforehand gradients along each route and fit the most generally suitable chainring. But this, he knew, was not the solution and when, in 1889, there was brought to him one of the first variable two-speed gears, the "Collier", to be fitted to a bicycle, he gave it exhaustive trials. He turned it down finally because its top gear, an 80, was not high enough, compared with the 71 he normally used, to take advantage of down-grade or following wind riding whilst the Collier's low gear, a 62, was no good for climbing a steepish hill, particularly with the rough surfaces which at that date were the rule rather than the exception. | All that manufacturers could then offer to help the gearing problem was a detachable chainring, made in the Raleigh Street works.

In 1922 a new coaster single-gear hub, type "CC", was introduced, while improvements were made to the "Tri Coaster"-the "KC"-making it dustproof and waterproof. | In 1922 a new coaster single-gear hub, type "CC", was introduced, while improvements were made to the "Tri Coaster"-the "KC"-making it dustproof and waterproof. | ||
