Shimano Nexus 3 Speed Hub Install on Retrospec Fixie

I’m a great grandma that has ridden my bikes all my life and I love them so much. I really appreciate you being up front about not knowing everything on your bike. Like you I don’t know what I would do without my PARK TOOL BIG BLUE BOOK OF BICYCLE REPAIR, and I just love and appreciate all the fixers, restorers, reviewers, every single one. What a labor of love and a huge help they all are.
I’d gladly spend money at my local shop, but the satisfaction and the up close and personal experience of making changes or fixing of completely rebuilding one of my bikes is so satisfying and there’s so much info here in the YT bike family. I love every one of you. Great video, refreshing honest style.
Got a great trek hanging in the garage I’d love to put an internal hub on. And I’d love to build a touring bike with one.
Thanks, it was great!

Would like to do this, very possibly to this bike ... currently its at $219, but they're out of my size. Watched the first and third videos as well. Has the bike and 3-speed held up okay?

I got on in my China bike

Don't run it threw the chain rookie😂

here to attatch my wheel to my bike fram. Ready to learn 🤓

can we upgrade the tires to bigger tires since the ones it comes with are super slim can u make a video about this since the space seems like u can't upgrade to bigger tires

In the process of restoring and old e-bike and the prospect of rebuilding better than the original appeals to me. I replaced the original external motor/chain with a front wheel hub motor. But for pedaling without assistance this geared hub looks really neat. Is the greater torque a result of having to pedal harder or does it make it easier to pedal?

It would’ve been helpful if you gave details on how to push the three speed clicker onto the axle, as you know, it’s spring loaded and has to be pushed in all the way, held against the axle nut, then simultaneously the Allen set screw tightened for it to work properly.

Nice thanks 🙏🏽

Is it possible to do this installation on a 3 speed core line

Anyone Who Skids on there Bicycle is Low on Braincells. For Skidding and Destroying Your Bike is Like Punching yourself in the Face, it's just so much Fun Until you have a Broken Nose from your own Fist. LOL Keep Abusing your Bikes and Destroying them all you have to do is Look at the Guy who is Always Riding his Bike and it Looks like Brand New and the Skidder who bike Looks like Someone Stole it and Destroyed it and then Returned it. You can just Look at People and the things they own and Tell if there Low on Braincells. Sad to Say there is a LOT of People This Day and Age that are Low on Braincells.

I was about to throw away my Costco bike after the teeth in the cassette got worn. Looks like I might save the planet with an internal hub. Thanks man!

i been thinking of replacing my nexus 7 hub with nexus 3 cus i much prefer it. this was really helpful video. thanks for making it. :)

Thx dude I had a frame needing wheels. Then I found three more bikes took what I had made 2 more bikes. Still had one bike I really wanted to get going then I finally gotten wheels. Unfortunately they were 2 fronts. I kept look for months online ppl wanted price for old junk I couldn't see spending what new ones called for. One morning I said Y can't I take a hub off a smaller wheel... put it on a bigger wheel. No One has a hub lace video only u so thx. I was curtin I was going to follow a non hub lace. Well thank u peace

Yo nice video, very helpful, just got a used cruiser bike for riding around campus. Also, I dig the Fitz and the Tantrums shirt!

This is a great idea for my cruiser bike. You’ve got a new subscriber.

I want one but they are like 250 now

Please make a video about 5 Shimano Nexus for ebikes.

I would seriously considered doing this if the weight in the back of the wheel is not effected. Meaning if I do the work to put this together will I now have a heavier wheel when in the most difficult gear that this provides? Is it going to be dead weight within he NexusIGh?

Great job and helpful info...I may even try that.
The faint clicking in 3rd speed is typical for this kind of hub (pawl override in "overdrive ").
Thanks very much!

Awesome & Thanks :)

Is there a coaster brake 3-speed kickback hub that does not use a gear selector? My granddaughter has minimal finger motion and cannot shift with a twist grip, and cannot safely brake with hand breaks. I have thought about getting her an electric shift (
SRAM GX Eagle AXS Upgrade Kit), but that still leaves a problem with the brakes.

I couldn't find it for sale anywhere ? do you have any lead on the links for the purchase

I recently got new bike with the Nexus and a belt drive. Because my Nexus was clicking like in the video, I realized it was out of adjustment. Because it doesn't click unless you are riding, it took several adjustments to it get it right. Of course riding it maladjusted will soon cause damage.

In fact the off-centered gear and the cap allows multiple gear offset options. In other words, do whatever fits the bike! :D

Can 3 speed nexus gearbox be replaced with 7 speed one?

What about chain line ? What is the previous chain line distance and new chain line distance aftar nexus ? You shoul change the bottom bracket as I guess... I know, you are nor a bicycle mechanics but I am asking this for experts...

Great bro!!! 🇱🇰♥️♥️

Great video. You are all of us trying to DIY.

I think your videos are great! Keep up the good work

Wow! I love it!

man, can't tell you how much i appreciate this video. i'm looking to put the same hub on a single speed bike with similar deep-V 32-spoke wheel setup. i've been too intimidated to give it a shot but after seeing this i think it's doable!

Taco'd the rear rim on my walmart cruiser. I actually LIKE the bike but like.... cheap wheels on a heavy frame. Frame is shockingly solid and it feels comfortable to be on. Considering getting a two or three gear coaster since it seems nobody is selling a 27.5 with rim brake surfaces. Plus going to a double wall might be a good idea. Keep the front brake because frotn brake isn't a bad idea.

..no use of a 3 speed, it has to be atleast 6 to 7 speed for a better and a more comfy ride for regular commutes.😥

My favorite part about this hub is the instant gear change. No derailleur lag switching into gears. Might want to watch your cable routing though. I run mine under frame,bb, and bottom of chainstay. Few zip ties does the trick. Your probably good though. If it works, don't fix it.

I didn't know wranglestar did bikes

think futuristic add a low power motor to convert these hub into ecycle hub

Now you talk big that's us my vibe...

Whould this be possible with a 8speeds hub? I did some research and most fixie hubs are 120 mm while a shimano nexus 8s is 135 mm... maybe by streaching the frame a lil it fits. Then you will have the problem of the chain alignation, someone tried?

Hi there, I have a question, does the shimano nexus 3 freewheel? Or is it fixed gear?

"I'm not much of a bike mechanic....now watch me build a wheel" 😐

Currently, I have a single speed with horizontal dropouts and rim brakes. Is it possible to get the nexus three without any kind of a coaster or roller break, and just continue to use my rim brakes?

Good job Mike it's perfect, I followed the video in order to do it myself and it went smoothly, you are the boss ! Thanks for the video !
