Jamie_Neal Posted July 28, 2006 Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 Just a quick query really to see if anyone else has noticed this. I know it's got a 6 speed freehub body on it but it seems to be a 9 spd freehub body not an 8 spd freehub body. All well and good but as I want to run an 8 spd Kool Chain I can't seem to get 6 gears out of it (the minor problem).The way I've currently got round it is by running 5 sprockets spaced at 8 spd and the last one has to be spacered at 9 spd otherwise the lockring won't tighten on. This means the last gear is unusable.I have tried 9 spd spacers and they definatly won't work with and 8 spd Kool and I don't want to go back to 9 spd chains.And yes, I know it's a really minor gripe with what is otherwise a stupidly good hub. But hey, there's always one!Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawnmowerman Posted July 28, 2006 Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 Just shove one spacer behind the cassette and use the limit screws on your mech. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie_Neal Posted July 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 (edited) Nope, it's the fact that the Pro 2 Trials (6 spd cassette) doesn't seem to have enough room for a 6 spd 8 spd spacered cassette. If that makes sense. Edited July 28, 2006 by Jamie_Neal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wright Pads Posted July 28, 2006 Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 Somehow i think you might have the wrong hub then!The trials hub will only run 6sp nowt eles!! As to my posting earlyer in the week at someoens cracking this is why Hope are not doing free wrranty on them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krisboats Posted July 28, 2006 Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 So you cant fit 6 of the sprockets that you've taken off your 8 speed cassette, using the 8 speed spacers as well?Go single speed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
