    So in 2006 I purchased a new Breezer Freedom with a 3 speed hub. I recently upgraded to a 7 speed hub with a new rear wheel on the bike.

    Now, I have the hub built into the 32 spoke 26 inch rear wheel, cable, and shifter, basically everything you would need to convert an existing bike into a 3 speed. I am not sure what width tires the wheel would take, the ones on it before were 1.75 width.

    I have put about 3000 miles on the hub with no problems. The rear wheel was rebuilt by hand by Bikes@Vienna after I had some problems with the machine built one that came with the bike in 2007. Since then there have been no problems with the wheel.

    The reason why I upgraded is because I started biking longer distances with more elevation changes on this bike and needed more gears, plus my legs are getting older.

    There are some new ones going for at least $50 plus $15 S&H on Ebay. I will part with this for $40. I will post pictures soon. Send me an email if interested.

    Oops, need to correct the posting, this is a 36 spoke (not 32) wheel for 26 inch tires, tire width I am estimating probably 1.5 to 2.0 although could be more or less, it has definitely had 1.5 and 1.75 tires on it. Completely rebuilt a few years ago by Bikes@Vienna (have paperwork), very bombproof.

    JeffC,
    I am looking for a replacement hub and wheel for a 1966 Sears and Roebuck bike for my daughter. It was made in Austria and the hub and shifter are beyond repair. Is this still available. My e-mail address is don@azphi.com

    Thx,
    Don

    Don, not JeffC, but something to check. Most newer wheels are 130 or 135mm hub width. A 1966 is of the era where usually the widest was in the 120mm range. Dunno if the stays can be widened on the bike you have, but may want to check the width of your dropouts before rushing into a purchase.

    That said you may well have done it, in which case just ignore me :-)
