Good choice would be Hope pro2 ss hub. Pretty light ,strong, nice sound and not too expensive.

the rear hub is the old Lawwill DH hub. it needs to be 124mm wide. 12mm thick. Ringle makes one that fits perfectly. the disc side of the regular 135x12mm just pops off anyway.
i run that hadley set up, but its a 122mm so have to run a spacer on the axle as well. which i have lost over time... and just run a 1mm now. works fine..
I know Hope makes one of these aswell.

goodluck

not really. as i said before. the standard 135x12mm Ringle rear hub will work. the non-drive side is loose. it just falls off when you take the axle out.

its called the lawwill standard. no hard to find. hadley still sells the inner axle, so you can have a regulay hadley hub 135 and buy that axle. adn then just get a little 1-2mm spacer.

not a big deal here. but you are in poland, so good luck

Hey all, as some of you may know I recently picked up RL #17. Took it up to Bromont this weekend and I have a few issues that maybe you can help me with.

My Ti spring rubs on the shock body in certain positions. It was installed by craig at Avy, apparently, but even when I turn the spring so that it doesn't rub, it turns back shortly thereafter. Is there any way to keep it from spinning on its own or to just keep the spring from rubbing period? I've got some nasty scratches on it, and that's where my noise was coming from.

#2 I've got some chatter coming from the floater. It's probable that something is just too loose, but I did notice you can adjust the eyelets on the brake bar, and I'm wondering if that will do anything to solve my problem.

Tia, congrats on the RL.

The floating arm's rod ends are not Right and Left hand thread so there is no adjustment to be made. Just make sure the locking nuts are secure. Maybe even just replace the rod ends with new ones. I can't imaging what would be "chattering" back there. Unless you are missing the chain slap insulation.

Does you RL have the 9" links? I guess the only thing you can do is measure your spring and make sure it is the currect size. Maybe someone installed a "rigged" Ti spring off a 5th or DHX or something. I can measure my steel spring when i get home and post up the dimensions.

"tia" is an acronym for Thanks In Advance. Sorry for the confusion.

I've got the o rings, I'll try torqueing the bolts a little further. It does have the 9" links. I just can't figure out why the spring is rubbing the shock body...I feel like that shouldn't be happening.

Furthermore, you're all bastards. I just realised how much I want to ride, how much I want to ride a BMW as oppose to just sit on one at a bike show. Alas no money. I should start up a 'HH BMW charity'.

I almost went on the ride but decided not to cause my ride was playing up. It sucked seeing him in casts. He was a decent rider, certainly had guts.

Nice...better order soon...I have some kind of impression from the BMW guys that there is a quite long delivery time on the BMWs:)
Well we have a UK dealer so hopefully he has a few in stock. I'm trying to decide on a colour. Want it to be pretty different.
