Thebigjam101 Posted June 3, 2014 Report Share Posted June 3, 2014 I was out riding yesterday when I lost power to the drivetrain- I would pedal but I wouldn't go anywhere. Obviously, my first thought was the echo sl freewheel, and after extensive checking, turned out to be fine. I then, off the bike, started pedalling and noticed the rear sprocket was rotating too. (f**k) fearing stripped hub threads, I removed the sprocket and found... Stripped hub threads. Luckily, I had put the sprocket on with the flange outwards and a spacer at the end of the threads, which I removed and turned the sprocket around so it sits on the good threads, and it still works. How common is stripping hub threads? I fear the twit who had this during it's "stolen" period f**ked it over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake Posted June 3, 2014 Report Share Posted June 3, 2014 I'd get a new hub if I where you, sounds like you haven't got much thread contact. Happens with older hubs to be honest, not a lot you can do about it. I've not had one strip but I did have a rear sprocket split open once which was weird.

J.KYDD Posted June 3, 2014 Report Share Posted June 3, 2014 Hub threads stripped. Get a new hub Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thebigjam101 Posted June 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2014 I would if I had the money, the only hub that fits a limey with a disc is a v!z and it's £45... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.KYDD Posted June 3, 2014 Report Share Posted June 3, 2014 (edited) Dentistry is far more expensive. If you continue riding with as little thread contact as you do now you'll be shelling out for that too....

Thebigjam101 Posted June 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2014 I'm 16 and I don't have a job... It's a lot more difficult for me to get parts than most people Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikee Posted June 3, 2014 Report Share Posted June 3, 2014 I'm 16 and I don't have a job... It's a lot more difficult for me to get parts than most people Free dental then. Still not worth the possible face plant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thebigjam101 Posted June 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2014 I Free dental then. Still not worth the possible face plant. I'm not stupid enough to ride it like it is! I just was showing how annoying it is that I have to wait at least 4 months before I can buy another hub... I'm in the middle if exams and do t get pocket money or whatever it's called.

dezmtber Posted June 3, 2014 Report Share Posted June 3, 2014 Bank of mum n dad then, cant be off the bike for months. Just remind them of how much you will get on there nerves if you stay home loads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.KYDD Posted June 3, 2014 Report Share Posted June 3, 2014 £45 wont be that hard to scrape together. Offer to mow lawns, do garden work, wash cars, help clear garages etc in your local area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigjames Posted June 3, 2014 Report Share Posted June 3, 2014 It's not hard, it just takes motivation. If 4 months without riding is bearable for you then fair enough, if not you'll find odd jobs and pick up a few quid here and there. It's only £12 quid a week for a month and you'll be sorted!

Blake Posted June 3, 2014 Report Share Posted June 3, 2014 What exams? There's loads of time between gcse's for you to scrape money together. Sell something you don't use anymore maybe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.KYDD Posted June 4, 2014 Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 Surely if you had time outside of exams to ride, you've got time to do some odd jobs and scrape some cash together? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD™ Posted June 4, 2014 Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 Surely if you had time outside of exams to ride, you've got time to do some odd jobs and scrape some cash together? This, quit whinging. If you don't have time to make the money, you wouldn't have the time to ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thebigjam101 Posted June 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 I am not riding it at the minute, I had a to on it when I finally had it returned to me and that's when the hub threads got stripped. I have a feeling it was tampered with during it's "stolen" period, and therefore why the hub was stripped so quickly, it's quite a new hub. Either way, this post was made to ask how quickly hubthreads are stripped, so I could feel safe with whatever knowledge I was given. It probably was just little thread contact, as dr.stix said. Wasn't a branded sprocket. I have no time to ride during this exam period and I'm afraid I got carried away with what sounds like angry retorts to reasons why I can't get the money to replace it. Apologies. If you know anyone who has a rear 116mm disc hub going very cheap, as in ten pounds or less, (probably could scrape that) then please contact me, thanks. The hub is/was a tryall "h" if anyone is Interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
