Conor the basher. Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 It has be mentioned before, due to the seatless and shot distance use of most mod bikes there really isnt any need for the gears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davetrials Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 Yes there is, i wacked on a 12tooth when i used to 22-18, that helped out alot on long rides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Aston Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 Plus those hubs are pants they skip like hell even when just riding about. Why would ot pi need one i cant imagine he would change gears through the comp stages. joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NVWOCI WVS Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 never in a million years would a sturmey archer work on a trials bike being used for trials! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Owen. Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 Plus those hubs are pants they skip like hell even when just riding about. Why would ot pi need one i cant imagine he would change gears through the comp stages. joeHes not wrong! Stermy archers for the loose!!!! They still come on pashely's, like the postal style bikes etc! I like my teeth how they are at the moment, so i wont be trying one of them hubs on mine! But the idea is good i rekon, i find traveling to places a right bast*rd on my mod! However i put up with it and get used to it.

Revolver Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 maybe they should figure out how to make one that's suitable for trials, and get deng to make it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NVWOCI WVS Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 Rohloff make a 14 speed internal gear hub. If they made that 3 speed they could make the internals much tougher... Not worth the weight/hassle though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grant wildman Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 Rohloff make a 14 speed internal gear hub. If they made that 3 speed they could make the internals much tougher... Not worth the weight/hassle though.Or price!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted March 7, 2008 Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 Ebay is blocked in college. But oh my god! WTF! The weight! Those hubs weigh like half a kilo!I had an old 3 speed one from an old road nike once because I wanted to put it on a BMX. It weighed more than me so I didn't bother.

Dan6061 Posted March 7, 2008 Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 Profile make 3 speed BMX hubs don't they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psycholist Posted March 7, 2008 Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 The problem with all the geared hubs is that the pickup on the hub takes quite a bit longer than the number of clicks on the freewheel would suggest thanks to the internal gears and clutches having quite a bit of backlash. If a hub was set up with the trials gear being the 1:1 ratio and locking out the planetary gear system in the hub it might be feasible (On Sturmey archers 2nd gear is a 1:1 ratio, but there's still crap loads of backlash in it). Can't imagine many people want the extra weight though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Cox Posted March 7, 2008 Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 so nobody has recognised the blatent sarcasm in lee's post, imo i think lee is ripping on the fact that he has a totally unsuited hub (and seat) for trials..Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
