sexymike Posted March 5, 2006 Report Share Posted March 5, 2006 Extract from Biketrials.comOther novel features of the Leeson frame: Rear axle is a bolt through design for increased rigidity. The hub is a modified Hope Ti-Glide - extra wide flange spacing for a dishless rearwheel and 6 speed titanium freehub body. The disc brake is a machined Hope item that looks more like a circular saw disc. The disc caliper attaches to both the chain and seat stays.Full Article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Todge Posted March 5, 2006 Report Share Posted March 5, 2006 Things like that (bolt through hubs and 360 dropouts) have been around in the motorcycle industry for years. Its not like he has invented them, just applied them into the trials world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F-Stop Junkie Posted March 5, 2006 Report Share Posted March 5, 2006 Biketrials.com is so useful sometimes. Good find Useful at preserving five year old articles? It's just a ti-glide with a longer Ti section, and a shorter freehub body. Though it was also the only one of it's kind... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley Smith Posted March 5, 2006 Report Share Posted March 5, 2006 there was a few of these hubs knocking around, i owned one, i also owned one of the few double disc front hubs................when designing the new hub at hope, we decided it would be quite useful to use this design as it is more popular for trials ridersash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
