It definitely can take some time, once its dialed in its golden!

As a kid, I'd use a spoke to set the hub in second gear. Spoke thread is the same the sturmey thread. Just screw it in and find second gear, then bend the spoke to keep it in that gear

Thank you for the very clear video. Now I understand what's happening in the adjustment process. Unfortunately, I found out that my cable is still really slack and doesn't shift at all. So now I think I need a video on replacing or shortening a cable that might be stretched after years of use! You got one of those coming?

Great video!!

I thought you were NOT supposed to be pedaling when changing gears on a Sturmey-Archer? But it is ok for the wheels to be turning/coasting.

I recently picked up a '67 Schwinn Deluxe Racer with the 3 speed Sturmey. This type of hub is pretty new to me and I was curious, are they SUPPOSED to click while pedaling or is there something wrong with mine? Also, I notice it has a lubricant access plug. What do you use to lube them? I appreciate any help you can provide, thank you.

yes there are pawls that get overidden and you can sometimes hear them quite normal. just use any good light oil say SAE30 wouldn't go any thicker needs about two teaspoons when filling from new but don't worry if you have too much. better than not enough. The gears are oil lubricated by the oil sloshing about. make sure you seal the filler or it will all run out and splash every where as you ride.

“Don’t like to shift unless you are fully pedaling”? U realize it won’t shift if you’re pedaling?
