thompo Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 (edited) Anyone reversibly locked out a hope free hub? Im going to be running a FFw on my new bike and im looking at options for locking out the Freehub body on my hope. Ideally id like it to be reversible as id plan to change to a dedicated hub in the next few months and re-use my hope on my Xc bike. Ive been told chemical metal/wedge the pawls in place, does anyone make machined pawl replacements that replace the pawl/spring assy?

Revolver Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 Ive been told chemical metal/wedge the pawls in place, does anyone make machined pawl replacements that replace the pawl/spring assy? The first one is permanent. The second one may well cause lasting damage. http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/product.php?product_id=10561&category_id=21 £40.

Ali C Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 zip tie the cog to the spokes, it sounds so simple but all you need to do is stop the hub going backwards, there will be no load going through the ties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds very simple indeed lol! Suppose it should work grand though will give it a go in the mean time until i get a proper hub sorted Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
