I bought myself an almost new Monty X-Hydra 3 weeks ago, and i've had endless problems since!
the 3rd day of riding, i did a wheelie up my friends driveway and the drivetrain felt like it was slipping
then 15 minutes later i'd managed to completely strip the thread from the hub (its a bmx-type hub, where the sprocket screws on)
so me isnt happy at all, i get the wheel rebuilt with a track hub, that has thread on both sides
first day of riding new wheel, stripped the thread after 4 pedal strokes
messed about with it, swapped sides and used the 2nd thread, and after riding about 400 metres i stripped the thread again!
AAARRRRGGGGHHHHH thats 3 stripped threads :angryfire:
wtf am i doing wrong!?! the first 2 times there was a spacer between hub and sproket, the 3rd i left it bare
i'm seriously frustrated now, all i wanna do is ride (well, hop) but every time i get on the bike i wreck it
has anyone has this problem?
and what do you reccomend i use? will a shimano DX hub work?
how hard would it be to tear up the internals of it? i can get one cheap, i just hope the ratchet is tough
i'm running a 21-12 combo right now, everyone i've mentioned this to reckons there's alot of torque with such a low gear, but what about track racers doing standing starts? the hub can stand that, but not a ride up the driveway?
i'm goin insane, help me please!
