sexymike Posted September 28, 2005 Report Share Posted September 28, 2005 (edited) well basically matt form preston had the same problem. i jsut got some metal, thin steel and drilled 3 holes in it. i placed the metal over the missing hole and laced it up so that the 1 to the left laced with the steel and the 1 to the right laced with the steel thus giving you a new hole, out of steel It has lasted a few rides so far and it think its 1 of my best bad jock bodges. *you have to file the hub down the thickness of the steel to compensate for the thickness difference* to answer your quesiton BROMEY BIKE do them for 50-60 Quid New and Fitted Edited September 28, 2005 by sexymike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted September 28, 2005 Report Share Posted September 28, 2005 brfriend a bikeshop and sak you to get one trad price from king, they are £35!! I think thats what I might do. Also, ask your shop to do you a receipt for the hub so you can then try and get it warrentied (though I doubt they would) aspire velotech do them for $85 but you have to pay postage from america I also saw that bodge, its pure genious!! but I cant be bothered to do it as I have a spare hub to ride lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
