Sturmey-Archer is a manufacturing company from Nottingham, England. They primarily produce bicycle hub gears but have also produced motorcycle hubs.
The company was founded in 1902 by Henry Sturmey and James Archer under the guidance of Frank Bowden the primary owner of the Raleigh bicycle company. They originally produced hubs for three-speed bicycles designed by Raleigh, but in 1939 a four speed model was developed. This led to the development of temperamental 5 speed models, and by 1994, 7 speed hubs were introduced.
In 2000, Sturmey-Archer was sold to Sun Race Sturmey-Archer Inc. and operations were moved to Taiwan.
