Balls Deep trials team Posted November 15, 2009 Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 im just looking for peoples opinion on carbon fiber hubs in trials do you recon they would be any good on the trials scene?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matty121 Posted November 15, 2009 Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 looks to have too few spokes to be strong enough for a trials application... plus wouldnt fitt most trials rims? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balls Deep trials team Posted November 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 obv that hub is no good for trials as it would need more spokes but it was an idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukasMcNeal Posted November 15, 2009 Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 Theres really no need, if more holes for spokes were added it would be far too weak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Dark Posted November 15, 2009 Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 Theres really no need, if more holes for spokes were added it would be far too weak.If you made the flange larger then it might be feasible....isn't there a hope hub with a carbon fibre centre?

NVWOCI WVS Posted November 15, 2009 Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 I used to use a carbon fibre front hub, years ago. It was made by woodman, and took the abuse of trials fine, even built radial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balls Deep trials team Posted November 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 How much do they sell for ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pabloxtz Posted November 15, 2009 Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 Do not think that carbon is so important for the trial, because the aluminum parts are cheaper and also very light.the front hub of Rock weighs only 63 grams.Front hub - Rockman bikes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
