One of the town snow plows, Darth Blader, is currently in the ditch at the end of the street. Don't think he appreciated the "can't park there bud" wave.

@HardtailHack friends don't let friends run White Industries. Unless you plan on looking at them and not actually dishing out abuse.


Snowed last night, caught a head cold. Wtf
Are they no good?
I just wanted a Titanium free hub body and my current Hadley has had a bit of a skipping issue since new, it's getting better so it was probably just over greases.

Every Hadley I've owned (and I've got some going on 15 years old) preferred a lighter touch with lighter viscosity grease. As you've experienced, they can get gummed up if there's too much.

I think I only greased my previous one once, it was a good hub.

They are too dear with our dollar currently circling the toilet so I bought Novatec Premium hubs, they were on special if you bought weird colors, so I got Pepto Pink.
Do I want Velocity Blunt 35 rims?

I'm sure some of their stuff is fine! I don't think WI makes their stuff to handle abusive/hucking/jumping. My only experience was with their cranks - I bent them on day 1, riding my bike at Duthie on some of the jumps.

As for Hadley and grease, I was using slick honey and when I told them on the phone, the Hadley peeps said, hell no!, we'll send you a little bottle of the approved low-viscosity lubricant.
