tom-trials Posted July 15, 2006 Report Share Posted July 15, 2006 (edited) well i know two people who have been through one of them and i dont think they were very chuffed about it so i dont think i would say they were very good Edited July 15, 2006 by tom-trials Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamtrials Posted July 15, 2006 Report Share Posted July 15, 2006 (edited) I've heard they break very easily.Get a hope mono or xc, the cheapest decent hubs. Edited July 15, 2006 by adamtrials Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamtrials Posted July 15, 2006 Report Share Posted July 15, 2006 chris king i suggest! Yes, obviously someone who is looking at spending £30 on a hub will be able to strech to £300...Jesus some people on this forum... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Limburn Posted July 15, 2006 Report Share Posted July 15, 2006 the gt hadley hub is not too bad in terms of engagement etc, however as has been said they don't properly hold up to the stresses of trials.best bet is to go for a hope xc / mono which are very similar to the hadley but last longer.Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom_ Posted July 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2006 cheers for help. Is the hope mono the same as the XC just without a disk mount? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bob87 Posted July 15, 2006 Report Share Posted July 15, 2006 Is the hope mono the same as the XC just without a disk mount?No.The Mono is smaller and thinner than the XC hubs.The flanges on the Mono hubs are prety week as-well, my friend had one built onto a D521 and snapped it within 2 months of buying it. This is because the flanges are'nt as big or as thick as the XC's.I've ridden XC titanium hubs for the last 2 years and never had a problem with them.
