Two more days to enter the Secret Santa!
Entries must be in by midnight on November 29th. We're kicking off the 2024 Secret Santa! Exchange gifts with other monkeys - from beer and snacks, to bike gear, to custom machined holiday decorations and tools by our more talented members, there's something for everyone.
Or just sweating on the damn things.
I usually do different things with boobies but you do you!
Westy's basement?
I thought that was the bidet?
That's a wood auger
Rear tire on the Moonlander flatted today, need to figure out why.
Just put more sealant in
Some drive rings can be replaced. Looks like a Hope, give them a shout.
A few teeth on the drive ring in the hub are rounded off, lovely.
It probably wouldn't be smart to replace the pawls and ride it like that, eh?
I'm also guessing that the drive ring can't be replaced without some serious fuckery?
I don't run tubes in most of my setups but whenever I get a puncture in one, I pump some stans into the hole and patch it. Stans in a tube is pretty bombproof and doesn't dry out like it does in tubeless setups, unless it is in fact sealing a lot of punctures. But sounds like may have had a leaky valve stem.
Why doesn't it have lipped seal?

That green thing has a lip and pops into a groove on the hub shell - tight enough that I can't do it by hand.
But yeah, not sealed enough evidently. The previous failure was from one of the bearings in the shell turning into dust.
I suspect the seal is not tight nor has any lip around the freehub body.
That stupid 17287 bearing in those Hope freehubs has let go on me a few times now and the result is gnarly for the pawls and the freehub body. I've had better luck since fucking off the Hope/Enduro junk bearing and putting a better quality bearing in though.
Next time that wheel needs a rebuild I might just ditch the thing and try one of the Nukeproof Horizon wheels or something. Tired of the hassle with that freehub.
I haven't had one of the bearing in the freehub go, but yeah it wreaks havoc. No good!
I replaced the bearings from some shady looking wearhouse here, no bearing issues since.
Ugly.Cleaned the grease and crud out of the hub. This thing is 100% dead. Just waiting for a second reply from Hope now....
I should have put my glasses on when I made the initial assessment.
Theres no way this thing could be limped through more hilly riding...
dammit now i feel like i need to pull my hope rear hub off and inspect. i've had zero problems with my hope hubs...ever. and i don't really service/baby my bike other than the drivetrain and an occasional fork seal swap/oil replenish.
Ya, I need to pull the one on the DH bike apart. It has not been looked at since a year or so before Covid. Not too many hours on it since I was last into it but enough in a sandy enviornment that I really should check it out before Thunder in the spring. At the same time spoke tension should also be on the list. That would not be the best time for an old 26er to shit the bed.
not trying to be smug, but this is why I moved away from pawl-based freehubs. even if they're cheap to replace (such as on Shimano), it's just not worth the hassle. The only issue I've had in the over 14 years I've had my King hub is that I didn't clean it, and after 5 years the grease was a little gummed up and when I rode it in sub-freezing temps, it froze and prevented the ring drives from engaging. Was still able to limp back to the car, but a quick clean and relube and it was good to go all over again.I should have put my glasses on when I made the initial assessment.

I always just used gear oil in my King hubs. It is King approved (or was), actually what is recommended for cold weather, and makes servicing super easy. More like a an oil change. Open it up, drain oil, drop in fresh oil, reassemble.
anyone feel the difference in pulley wheel quality in the lower groups? thinking of just replacing it with a deore one this time
cage broke off…
