george_seamons Posted September 24, 2005 Report Share Posted September 24, 2005 £129.99 :) :S (Y) Id rather spend my money on a Hope and build it up! lol I dont even think it costs that much for the hope! lol Yeah, but you get a ceramic rim for that price as well. I've not looked which rim it is, but last I knew...ceramic rims were pushing £50 odd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've not looked which rim it is, but last I knew...ceramic rims were pushing £50 odd. Yeah, it's a EX 721/ D521 whatever ceramic rim, and they seemed to have knocked the price up to £64.99 on crc, that's half the cost of the wheel gone on the rim alone....

fat-jake Posted September 24, 2005 Report Share Posted September 24, 2005 i think the rim is a great idea, i had a gt hadley rear hub for a while and it was quite good, but the rim yes thats is a great idea, i hear it is a replica of the mavic deemaxx downhill wheel which is the strongest whell around. fat-jake i love to eat the pie, and drink the redbull yesssss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom s Posted September 25, 2005 Report Share Posted September 25, 2005 No, the rim is a mavic D521/Ex721, which have been around for a fair while, and are extremely popular on here (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
random Posted September 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2005 Agh you lot!!! RIM IS FINE N DANDY It's the best, it's thick and strong but not heavy and holds grinds wel land the ceramic is really good. Spokes are okay too. The hub is what will kill you in a flash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

random Posted September 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2005 So this GT/hadly hub is physicly going to kill you...think logicly about it..oo whait no non of you lot on here can. Sorry my mistake. Rididng trials on this hub no matter how good you are it will die and more than likely when your doing a power move and you ending up on your ass with bike on top..not thats probs such a bad things beings you seam to be an odsured waist of space currently. So John boy get it right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash-Kennard Posted September 25, 2005 Report Share Posted September 25, 2005 Mate, you are the one who said It killed you. Mine only skips when I'm riding along, not trials usage. Which I find weird, why would It do this, can anyone explain? Even then It rarely skips anyways. ash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Campbell Posted September 25, 2005 Report Share Posted September 25, 2005 (edited) Mate, you are the one who said It killed you. Mine only skips when I'm riding along, not trials usage. Which I find weird, why would It do this, can anyone explain? Even then It rarely skips anyways. ash. Generally a hub skips when the pawl hasn't engaged properly (obviously) but when doing trials we usually reset our pedals and then engage the pawls before putting any real power through the hub. When riding along the engagement points are be constantly moving so when you go to pedal to increase speed one or all of the pawls may not be fully engaged when power is put through the hub. This cause the pawls to miss engage and slip. My hope will skip now and then whilst riding along but rarely if ever while doing "trials" on it. hope that made sense.... Dan Oh and to the thread starter. Don't start having a go at people. The thread should have been a warning about your experiance with the GT hubs and the fact CRC are now using them for a "trials" wheel. Not that they are going to kill you which lets face it, is pretty unlikely. So this GT/hadly hub is physicly going to kill you...think logicly about it..oo whait no non of you lot on here can. Sorry my mistake. Thats the claim YOU made, none of us changed what you said. Edited September 25, 2005 by dan_brisa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

random Posted September 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2005 Dude dude dude, the hub is not amazing for trials what so ever but good for early riders namely 1st timers. All i'm saying a si have in other post is that you lots are twisting my words and setting facts right. Like a Pashley that will kill you a sdid nearly one other rider and many others when there brake boss came off the frame due to the poor weleding on them. Figure of speach i'd say is what i was saying not a full meaning and anyone to belive it will kill you well you really are dumb then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T-Limburn Posted September 28, 2005 Report Share Posted September 28, 2005 (edited) My hub has been alright, Had 3 in a year and nine months though. Hub on it's own is 30 odd quid and I always thought it had 36ep? ash's hub does seem to have quite nice engagement but sometimes it decides to skip alot. it seems to go through phases of being really good and then skipping alot they are great hubs for the price. for £32.50 they have great engagement for the money but they seem to go quite quickly :P Mine only skips when I'm riding along, not trials usage. Even then It rarely skips anyways. thats not entirely true as it goes through phases of skipping loads and ash gets angry, but then it also goes through stages of being perfect :huh: overall they are good for the fact that they are only £32.50 but they do not entirely withstand trials usage as ash has shown since he has been through 3 in quite a short space of time Tom Edited September 28, 2005 by T-Limburn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
