Concensus on Sturmey Archer (Sun Race) 3 speed coaster hub

Hey all,

Raleigh offers a 3 speed cruiser with a SR3C hub. Anybody have any issue with these? Are they 2nd rate to a Shimano Nexus 3?
They still use the pull chain instead of a push rod.

Just wondering...

They are good hubs. Sun Race up dated all the production tools (SA never did) to bring a classic hub back again. Roger

I even like the newer S-A 3 speed better that the older AW3...
