Target Posted March 9, 2021 Report Share Posted March 9, 2021 What rear hub is that, and how have you fitted it into Crewkerz through axle dropouts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark W Posted March 9, 2021 Report Share Posted March 9, 2021 Out of interest, what setup did you have on it before? Was it straight from FFW to the I9, or did you go to a Hope or something first? Bike looks sweet, incidentally! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikee Posted March 9, 2021 Report Share Posted March 9, 2021 Those T pieces as brake splitters is a good idea. I use those sometimes at work for pneumatics, and they are brilliant. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was front freewheel for a month or so, but every other main bike I’ve had has been on a King. Thanks man ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks man ! Ah fair enough, was curious as to how big a change it would have felt from a FFW setup. More in terms of weight positioning as much as anything, although with how light that hub is I suppose it's getting closer and closer to being fairly negligible between a FFW setup and a freehub. Especially so when you factor in just how good that I9 engagement feels! Out of interest, what fittings do you have to use with those T-pieces? Something that's proprietary to them? Look really neat and tidy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look really neat and tidy! To be honest I never really notice much difference, whatever you lose in weight centralization I feel you make back in less friction and a freer drivetrain. The engagement is mad, just makes everything else even a 135 freewheel just feel sloppy. Nothing at all, the pneumatic tees are just push fit. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point about the drivetrain resistance too, always forget how draggy FFW setups usually are. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikee Posted March 10, 2021 Report Share Posted March 10, 2021 You got me thinking, Alex. You could probably do the lever and slave ends with these. Imagine, no more pissing around with barbed fittings, or olives and shroud nuts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
