cruiserweight14 Posted September 29, 2006 Report Share Posted September 29, 2006 Sounds like it is gonna take of, might help with some lift, the bearings are amazing on that hub that wheel spins for ages. It doesn't sound like it is going to fall apart and if it rides well what does it matter it just make you stand out more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTF Posted September 29, 2006 Report Share Posted September 29, 2006 CrisKing hubs are suposed to make such sound. I love it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomtrials Posted September 29, 2006 Report Share Posted September 29, 2006 Yeah is ment to make that sound. Is the hub new? As it is best to wearing it in for a while! then clean it out with GT85 as it makes the engagement feel more solid rather than flexy. Like wright pads said seems abit too much lube. It is really worth doing though! Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greetings Posted September 29, 2006 Report Share Posted September 29, 2006 Don't quite know what you're talking about but take into account that no rim is perfectly balanced because of the valve hole and valve, and the place where the rim is bonded. This will make the hub make different noises when spinning because it stresses the bearings and spokes, and the sound spreads with a different frequency. Nothing wrong with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wright Pads Posted September 29, 2006 Report Share Posted September 29, 2006 No as if the vlave was the rim would fail, the vlave is always at the other end of the join aka other end of the rim directly across the rim on the other side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
