Mr Plod Posted January 2, 2006 Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 (edited) Okey briefing:I've got Will Arnolds old 05 T-Mag. I had a monty X-Lite before and so have had all the parts transferred onto the T-Mag. Problem:Upon trying to put the rear wheel on I found out the hub is to small. I measured the chainstays and they come up 120mm. Is this right for T-Mags? Measured the Monty hub 100mm. So problem is once I tighten the axle bolts fully, the non drive side of the axle isn't sitting in the chainstay because it's too short. I've got a set of Echo 06 rims waiting to be built up so I need to know what hub to use for the rear. I've had a look but all the hubs are only 110mm wide so still leaves it 10mm too short. I don't want to have to spend £160 because I can't really afford to and want to be riding as soon as possible. So Ideas gentlemen (and ladys if present) will be much appreciated. Also I've emailed Tartybikes about it all to find out how they get around it. So the task is to build up my rims asap with a rear hub that fits the 120mm stays.Thanks for anyhelp and happy new year to you all Edited January 2, 2006 by College Boy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrishayton Posted January 2, 2006 Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 i belive monty hubs to be smaller spacing than normal hubs, but i think the 120mm spacing you mention should fit a normal mod hub if you use snail cams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Plod Posted January 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 I have to use the Onza chain tugs on the T-Mag to tension the chain but i do have a set of snail cams that were off my monty so I could use them as spacers? Any pictures or diagrams will help rid my confusion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted January 2, 2006 Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 Mod hub width: 110mmMonty hub width: 106mmThere's gonna be a variation on that with frame simply 'cos they need to be wider to accept the hub, and accept it in different points (the stays need to be splayed more for it to accomodate 110mm at the front rather than at the rear, if you see what I mean), so it's likely it'll be a bit over 110mm. Anyways, you could try spacers on the inside of the dropouts to make it out to the correct width, I guess. That should do the job... Either way, a new rear hub should fit fine anyway. It's only a coupla mill' difference each side so it's not super bad, really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Plod Posted January 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 So if I got say an Echo rear mod hub like the one on Tartybikes here: http://tartybikes.co.uk/image.php?image=echorearmodhub.jpgThen even if its 110mm it should be okey and the axle should completely fit in the drop outs? I also found that the tug end (the bit you adjust around the end of the drop outs) was a bit too close to the chain for my liking. Suggestions there?

Suggestions there? You should see mine Filed and hacksawed to reduce it so it basically covers the ends of the dropouts, with a larger lip on the outside edge of the frame and a tiny little stabilising lip on the inside edge. No problem with the chain at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hobnobs Posted January 2, 2006 Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 I do beleive echo hubs are 116mm wide including cams, so that could cause problems with some frames? I know i measured my frames dropouts and they are only 115mm apart (old old echo team). Sounds like a perfect fit for yours though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Plod Posted January 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 (edited) Yeah I phoned Tartybikes earlier to find out how much it would cost to get a rear wheel build if I sent the echo hub and rim to them. Works out £26 i think, thats with the mutiny spokes and post and packaging. So hopefully have the stuff sent off to them Monday at the latest. What do you think the chances of getting the wheel back by either Friday 13th or Saturday 14th are like? Thanks again for all your help guysAlso who said anything about a Zona Zip? I'm using an Onza T-Mag 05 Edited January 3, 2006 by College Boy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
