mr ailsbury Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 Right I've just bought a GU hub for my 06 pythonworked fine first ride on itwent out tonight and before i'd even done anything my brake starts rubbing, so I looked at my back wheel and noticed that even though the bolts done right up, the washer isn't touching my frame, so it wobbles and stuff and the snail cam moves, I took the wheel out and thought oh maybe its cause the metals a bit jaggedy on my frame, so i filed the rough bits off, and it made no difference what so ever can anyone give me any idea what it might be, its doing my nut in now lol, snapped my old hub and old bars and popped my brake in the space of 4 days and now this is happening! cheers, Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basher Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 (edited) try putting a washer inbetween your hub sounds like the hub is tightening up all the way before it gets to tightening up against the frame. So a washer should sort it out.edit: also do you run your snail cams on the inside or outside, out them on the inside if they arnt Edited January 25, 2008 by basher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 Yeh sounds like the end of the axle is hitting the big outside washer.Either file/grind the axle down or put washers in if they will fit, those hubs are designed to run snail cams on the inside, are you?

sidehop Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 Deng's snail cams are ultra wide...Thus why it never works. Mates czar and adamant hubs have done it. Also just read you fixed it. So this is usless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
