Orgun_Donor Posted October 3, 2006 Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 So tonight after being out riding for all of an hour, my brand new Profile Mini Cassette Hub went, again, after only having it for a week. Ive Just recently got a replacement cause my other one went after 2 months, im on my 3rd hub from 24seven, but the gear ratio is really gay on it to say the least. Now im running outta things to try and resolve this weak hub issue, I've just brought a new ENO freewheel, and a new echo screw on hub, with 16th sprocket and spokes to go into my Try all rim, but god knows how long that will last.....Other then buying the silly expensive Chris King BMX hub, anyone got any experience in this kinda area? Any suggestions?Before i loose my rag and hunt Danny Holroyd down for have a stupid 116mm rear hub, and then stab him in the eye.... lots!PS - i now have Ice wrapped round my wrist cause of a nice face plant!

All also available with 12-16T sprockets)Hope that helps.CheersAdamPS: Darren, are the spokes you ordered for your existing Try-All rim? The Echo hubs are only in 32h and I believe your Try-All is 36h.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you can change it to a 36 hole hub magically... or the Black Onza T-master hub with 36 Holes......EDIT - Any news on how quick i can get a wheel built might have another idea, and spend more money...

RobinJI Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 I mentioned the Idea to someone with a mod 26", might have been you, but I can't reamember. :$ . But with the profiles I'm pretty sure that it would stop the porblem if the wheel was built with radial lacing on the non-drive side, as there would be no rotational resistance from the non-drive side, it would isolate the forces to the one flange, stoping so much stress being placed accross the hub body. Just a thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orgun_Donor Posted October 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 Trouble is the drive side is where you have ll the troubles.... so surely radial would have the opposite effect? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinJI Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 Well from what I've seen the crack has been apearing on the inside of the drive side flange, from where the right flange is being driven by the driveing force from the freehub, and the non-drive side flange is being held still by the spokes and the wheel on the ground/break. My point is that if you lace the non-drive side radialy, then whent the opposing forces are acting on the wheel, (pedaling and breaking/on the floor) then only the drive side flange will be handling the rotational forces, so it will not stress the hub shell in that place.

RobinJI Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 Haha, fair play mate, cant blame you, was just saying my theory incase you or someone else was interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
