thewoomaster Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 (edited) Holla dude's,Me mate has been looking into getting a Hadley hub for sometime now, we cant seem to find a good review's from any trials riders that run it only DH-ers.The hadey hub comes with 108 engagement points or they got a newer version with 74 engagement points, also there made of stronger metal.Read for urself http://www.dhracers.com/HadleyRacing.htmI'd say the King is better but we want know what you guys think? Dont bother saying a Hope 2 etc as other mate has one and he thinks its poo Edited January 11, 2008 by thewoomaster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Bleech Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 Hadley hubs are good hubs, but they are totally unproven for trials. Unlike Hope or King, its his face at the end of the day. Why does your mate think hopes are crap? They are good... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psycholist Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 It has 108 engagement points created by 3 staggered pawls engaging a 36 tooth ring. This means only one pawl is carrying the load in the hub. Unless these are way beyond burly the chances of it surviving trials use are low. Also when only one pawl is taking the load it pushes the freehub sideways as there's nothing apart from the bearings opposite the pawl to support the load. Shimano XT (And probably all Shimanos, an XT was the only one I had break apart on me so I could see inside, the others just spun forward) freehubs use a setup like this with 2 pawls at 90 degrees to each other (That both engage at the same time). And nothing they make apart from XTR will survive on a trials bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun H Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 Where can we see more on their new 74 (72?) e.p. hubs? Their older ones, as mentioned above are no good for trials as they don't use enough pawls unfortunately. Although they're very tasty hubs otherwise!I'd be tempted to try one, but Kings are proven for trials, the RingDrive system is logically a better system for trials than pawl and ratchets. Although when done correctly they P+R hubs can come pretty close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsy trials matt Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 (edited) i would have thought they are really good as made by honda who make decent motor bikes so they should be very good ( but the hub is not designed for trials so they could always be sh*t)get a Chris King to be safehow much are they?

I'd love to hear from someone trying it though.Oh and Kings don't have pawls AmmendedOh dear...When will people stop being so ignorant and realise, there's a price difference for a reason. Kings ARE better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 I bet half the people in here who have said king don't even own one. Most expensive is not necessarily best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenLeacock™ Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 (edited) A well maintained king is better than a pro 2... IMO ! Edited January 12, 2008 by BenLeacock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muddyfox Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 Ive tried hadley hubs on trials bikes and they are as good as kings. The newer 72 point are stronger than the older 108. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason222 Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 I've got a king, absolutely love it. Sounds good and works even better. My friend's have Hope's, and they're good too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
