Tom Booth Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 The only thing I wouldn't be much of a fan of is the fact its not sealed, I never got on with unsealed bearings. Tis a good idea thou. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eskimo Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 I think after you put that axle in the hub all that weight saving has gone down the pan.It is however a good idea.Chris King front hub on a mod-stock rear? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muel Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 Why not just get a rear hub... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psycholist Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 Using a rear hub on the back of your bike? That's what The Man wants you to do. Fight the power etc... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 Why not read the f**king thread?! It's been explained repeatedly... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christophe' Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 Why not read the f**king thread?! It's been explained repeatedly...Dont get mad mark , im sure you understand that (aswell as me) 70 percent of the people on this here forumdont see beyond trials.Not true cyclists in my mind.

Muel Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 Why not read the f**king thread?! It's been explained repeatedly...I've read it, it's cheaper. But why not just run a proper rear hub? Seems like a lot of pissing about for a wheel with cup and cone bearings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 I fully have no desire left to explain this shit.To put this into context, I am actually about to grab my fixie, ride to Southbank in the wind + gentle rain, just to try and tighten someone's open bearing pedals up for them because that, to me, sounds like it'd be more fun than explaining this again.

Greetings Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 (edited) Fantastic idea! Simple and effective, resolves the issue Adam was talking about.edit: Besides, you don't need to use a front hub for this. You can use a rear disc one and just flip it around.

Mark W Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 Besides, you don't need to use a front hub for this. You can use a rear disc one and just flip it around.If you were worried about stripping thead and that, why not get a normal rear disc hub then put a sprocket on the disc mount and run it the other way around?f**king horrific chain-line, at a guess...Plus front hubs are cheaper/lighter.I fully have no desire left to explain this shit.To put this into context, I am actually about to grab my fixie, ride to Southbank in the wind + gentle rain, just to try and tighten someone's open bearing pedals up for them because that, to me, sounds like it'd be more fun than explaining this again.In related news, it pissed it down on the way back. Fortunately, I was on my fixie at the time, so I flew home instead of still probably riding home now if I was on my BMX. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
