Seriously what the hell is with the marketing gimmicks?
Angling of flanges towards the rim center line ... that actually seems to be a good idea.I thought it was all BS until I saw it has SEEKER. A hub without SEEKER is unrideable.
man, the number of spokes I've broken off at the head...the number must be in the 0s.Angling of flanges towards the rim center line ... that actually seems to be a good idea.
Pretty sure most hubs do that, but they don't use SEEKER. I am not really sure what it does but it is in all caps so it has to be good. I tried to ride a hub that wasn't 3D once, super flexy.Angling of flanges towards the rim center line ... that actually seems to be a good idea.
In which direction???I tried to ride a hub that wasn't 3D once, super flexy.
I believe that is how I9 works as well.Is that offset engagement (double time) @Udi 's idea? Or is that something that is common in other hubs?
It does feel more difficult to complain about theseThere seem to be no real new standards here. Disappointing.
But it is SIDE SWAP SYMMETRICAL. No longer will I be frozen in fear trying to decide what side cap goes on what side. Normally there is only a 50% chance of success with a complete guess, not a risk I am willing to take.There seem to be no real new standards here. Disappointing.
StiHacka doesn't have one and he said it first...just be glad you already have a custom title, or that would be yours.
Speedball: "The only adjustment they'll ever need was made back at the factory. With tolerances this tight the days of adjusting for play after every ride are over." I honestly can't remember the last time I had to adjust a hub to take play out of a bearing. Or is this a subtle jibe at Shimano's continued use of cup and cone bearings?.
I think Hadley were the first to do it in their 108 hub that only had 1 of 3 pawls engaging at a time, but a few of them blew up so they changed it to 2x2 for 72pt to have two engaging at a time.Or is that something that is common in other hubs?
Which is why most hub flanges have been like that for the last 50 years...Angling of flanges towards the rim center line ... that actually seems to be a good idea.
I honestly never noticed that standard hub flanges were anything but perpendicular to the axle. "Which is why most hub flanges have been like that for the last 50 years...
Isn't there some weird irony about this hub NOT being offered in Boost sizing?
