Sturmey Archer SX-RK 3 BROKEN
UPDATE!!!!!!.
Mike at Performance bike helped me out and did the warranty on this hub even though I did NOT buy it from him because he is a Sturmey Archer distributor and wanted to see his customers happy with there products they sell and support.
Its now April 23, 2024 and the wolftrax 2.0 is still going strong after receiving the replacement hub from Mike at Performance bicycle .

This is the Second Wolftrax 2.0 fatbike I had built with the SA SX-RK 3 hub.
( FYI the first one I built of the Wolftrax 2.0 was for a friend and its still going strong because he had the same issue as I did wearing out the rear cassette , chain, chainring and this would cost over 100usd to replace every few months because the same 4 gears would wear out from all the dirt trails and debris from the trails . So we decided to switch to the SA SX-RK 3 HUBS and never looked back . So much better now )
As you can see in this video it had snapped one of the Paws into and a piece of the paw had gotten down into the PLANTNERY gears and just DESTROYED the housing and at least one of the gears , you can see the chunk of gear laying next to the Paws.
I think this was DEFECTIVE from the beginning as I had stated to Mike at Performance Bicycle because the Clicking sound these HUBS make was NOT the same as my other 2 Fatbikes I had converted to this EXACT same HUB and those have NEVER had any ISSUES at all for over 5 years now and work perfectly just fine .
I am hoping they warranty this for me .
