TomN Posted February 12, 2005 Report Share Posted February 12, 2005 right, today saw this person with a Saint hub it looked beasty, it seemed with him very slient. Just working are these hubs any good for trials? How many egagements they have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomN Posted February 12, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2005 Yer thats the guy who i meet with one, Nick. Well some product from Shimano are good but seeing Nick ride with it, it seems good just want more info about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun H Posted February 12, 2005 Report Share Posted February 12, 2005 I thought it only came in 12mm axle? :D If it does come in Q/R then I reckon it'll be too heavy anyway. Plus you'll have to use a shimano freehub which to be honest doesn't really have the engagement for trials. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swindon rider Posted February 12, 2005 Report Share Posted February 12, 2005 Thats where you wrong i'm afraid, It has a totally different engagement system to the "normal" shimano hubs, It has a 3 pawl ratchet i do believe, and has around 30 ish engaments, Sounds like a half greased hope, You have to use the mech with it apperently which is very beasty too. Ask Nick manning for details I guess. Stu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonPace Posted February 12, 2005 Report Share Posted February 12, 2005 it has 38 engagement points and you have to run the saint mech with it as far as I am aware. Spoke to nick today and he is so far happy with it. Get a profile though! much better! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoke to nick today and he is so far happy with it. Get a profile though! much better! ← yeah nick seemed to be getting on great with it today!! and the saint mech seemed pretty burly too! overall it looks like it could be a decent hub, just needs a long term test!!

spider Posted February 12, 2005 Report Share Posted February 12, 2005 dont even try it!!! as a bike mechnic i have to tell you this: shimano's hubs s!@ck! if you live in the uk you have so many bettrr options, and go with seald bearing hubs! i use a king hub and its the best hub i ever used (been using all shimanos, even xtr's). :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

that NBR dude Posted February 12, 2005 Report Share Posted February 12, 2005 (edited) dont even try it!!! as a bike mechnic i have to tell you this: shimano's hubs s!@ck! if you live in the uk you have so many bettrr options, and go with seald bearing hubs! i use a king hub and its the best hub i ever used (been using all shimanos, even xtr's). :P ← The Saint is completely different to every single shimano hub out there. As already mentioned, it has a 3 prawl ratchet systrem, similar to hopes. Nick is loving his, so if you are after something a little different from the norm, then I say go for it and get one!
