one of my rears is from around that time and they sent me an updated axle gettup for free with free tools with my rebuild kit since they no longer make the version i had. thats how CS is done
yeah, no one does CS like Haley. When I called about my hub, to ask some "semi" technical questions about the difference between generations, the lady who answered the phone(who I think is the owners spouse) was able to answer everything right off the cuff. Super helpful.

I just bought a new set of Hadley hubs and the owner's manual document listed a website under their contact info. I lol'ed because I know they don't have one, so I'm not sure if they are just trolling everyone or if they made a website once and then forgot to renew it...

This is a true story. My in-laws next door neighbor is brothers with the guy that makes these hubs. I probably have his business card somewhere. At the very least I can ask his brother for his info.
My father in law met the brother, he said he was really nice but a little out there.

This popped up at a great time, I built some wheels with hubs I don't like so I'm going to swap them out to Hadleys.

After a year with my current alloy freehub it took 30mins to get the cassette off and I had to file it down to be able to fit a new one. I ran my old Hadley with cheap 8spd cassettes for most of it's ~10 years and it looked far better than my current Syntace hub does with only a year's use.

I have about 3,200mi on the Hadley hubs I bought a couple years back. Maybe I should open and clean the fw at some point this year.

Ha, same I have about 3000 miles on a set I bought in 2016 and have never touched them. They just work. I recently removed the front endcaps to replace with the boost conversion kit and the bearings are still super smooth. The rear does feel not quite as smooth, so maybe a service is in order...next year perhaps.

Oh and the lack of a website in 2024 is still amazing. At least I can get whatever hubs and parts are needed from https://www.balleracing.com/ and Erik is very responsive and knowledgeable.

Hadley does have a phone number though. About a year ago when I tried to convert my rear hub from microspline to standard HG, my spacers and bearings were letting the frame make contact with my cassette when clamped down.

A quick phone call and they didn't even miss a beat. The person who answered the phone rattled off the problem and the solution without having to think about it.

I sent them my freehub and they had it turned around in 2 weeks.
