Chris Canfield said:Even with no maintenance, I was still able to rolling past all my friends
Yeah, but they have brass nibbles.$450 a set isnt a bad price for a no name hub and no name rim
beat you to the punch. see post 5.Even with no maintenance, I was still able to rolling past all my friends
Maybe the website is made in China too?
I bet they're at least similar.Wonder if these are the same as Azonic Outlaws or the Transition wheels?
i know right, he did go two years without maintenance. and he still rolling passed his friends.All joking aside, I highly doubt that C&L would put their name on something of inferior quality.
its not from Canfield. they just put their stickers on it. i doubt they are making their own hubs and rims.They cant be that bad, It is from canfield, the rest of their products are superior
Considering pacific makes their bikes......All joking aside, I highly doubt that C&L would put their name on something of inferior quality.
Except if you realize how fvcking irrelevant is, given that it's so minute in comparison to all the other things that are slowing you down as you roll down a hill.On the forums all you hear about is how quick the engagement is or how loud a hub is. In a discipline with so much coasting it's refreshing to hear someone use common sense and talk about minimal freewheel drag.
That's true. That and the nibbles of course...On the forums all you hear about is how quick the engagement is or how loud a hub is. In a discipline with so much coasting it's refreshing to hear someone use common sense and talk about minimal freewheel drag.
Nothing wrong with that. Just because the Pacific branded bikes you see in Wally World suck doesn't mean they can't make a decent frame if someone will pay for it. I ride a Pacific made bike (a Banshee) and it's well put together.Considering pacific makes their bikes......
Not that this has much of anything to do with anything, but the Spooky in your sig is all kinds of awesome. If I had 1g to sink into a bike just because I'd be all over it. Your Brooklyn is awesome too, I remember goofing off on it at the 4th weekend Platty race and really liking it. Way to rock the cool older East coast companies. I'm the guy on the black Draco if you don't remember...That's pathetic. If you want to cheapen your brand by slapping your name on every catalog item you can find, go for it. But please proofread the garbage they send you so it'll look like you're making an effort to select quality parts.
Depends what hub you're comparing it to. I've felt freehubs that add as much drag as a slow rolling tire. Maybe you're not a fast enough racer to care but some people want minimal drag.Except if you realize how fvcking irrelevant is, given that it's so minute in comparison to all the other things that are slowing you down as you roll down a hill.
The first scenario that came to my mind is Rainmaker at Winterpark. You need to really carry speed between jumps cuz some are kind of long and the landings aren't steep enough to get a good pump, but I don't feel like pedaling cuz that kills the feel of flow. It would be hard to quantify how much resistance each of the contributors adds but I do my best to improve what I can. I don't want to give up my 2.7" minions but I keep my bearings rolling fast, tuck my shirt in, and use an AmClassic rear hub.I see 3 scenarios, your pedaling, your rolling(and you cant pedal) and your braking, there is really only 1 place where (reduced) drag can help.
LOL I think it was a quote Chris liked when he was at the house we were chatting it up over the new stuff coming down the pipe.^^ bull, that was worded like their website
Different Pacific.Nothing wrong with that. Just because the Pacific branded bikes you see in Wally World suck doesn't mean they can't make a decent frame if someone will pay for it. I ride a Pacific made bike (a Banshee) and it's well put together.
