adamtrials Posted October 8, 2006 Report Share Posted October 8, 2006 You mean rear?What hub is it?You'll probably need a new one or a service depending on what it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greeny Posted October 8, 2006 Report Share Posted October 8, 2006 that sounds scary if you ask me if it is skipping that often, what if you are in the middle of a move or drop? and it skips..if you ask me i think i would get it seen to properly, or best to buy a new one.what rear hub is it?thank youGreeny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zIp-AdE-dOo-DaR Posted October 8, 2006 Report Share Posted October 8, 2006 in his profile it says he has ddg hubs so im guessing he has a ddg REAR (not rare lol) hub,yes best off taking it to you locla bikeshop and get it looked at properly.dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mods Posted October 8, 2006 Report Share Posted October 8, 2006 (edited) he obviously mean rear.. spellin bee where are you But on subject get yourself a new hub son.. if it skips on the edge of a drop or release from preload on a gap.. thats when face connects with concrete Edited October 8, 2006 by mods Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wright Pads Posted October 8, 2006 Report Share Posted October 8, 2006 (edited) If it's a DDG and skipping it be shaged, buy a Hope Pro II mateRare or Blue is how you cook a stake, hot skillet, oil till it's spitting lay the stake on flat, 5 to 10 seconds, then other side then the sides to seal, over to warm through for ten mins @ 180c then serve with chips, pee, corn on the cob.

Ben Beckett Posted October 9, 2006 Report Share Posted October 9, 2006 never trust ddg hubs..it sounds like the rachet ring is mangled.like 'wright pads ' says get a pro IImax....nah i would reccommend the chris king classic.....some pro 2's brake so i'd rather the king imo!l8rs!!!

nmt_oli Posted October 9, 2006 Report Share Posted October 9, 2006 nah i would reccommend the chris king classic.....some pro 2's brake so i'd rather the king imo!l8rs!!!Thats a bit of a rash statement since pretty much EVERY bike product has been known to fail at one point or another, even king hubs. A lot of people now will not touch king hubs after bad experiences, and much rather be on hopes.Anyway:The king is nice, so is the pro 2, but to be honest both are likely to be out of your price range, the hope XC/mono is an old favorite, strong, easy to service, and last pretty well. not as quick to engage as pro2/king but will last well enough, and can be got 2nd hand easily too.Another good option atm, if you like single speed, is a DMR singlespeed hub with screw on ENO (or similar) freewheel.

max-t Posted October 9, 2006 Report Share Posted October 9, 2006 if your loaded and a fool get the chris kingif you have £130 to spend get the pro IIif you are on a budget get the xc or mono hope hubsorry i have a bit of an obsession with bulleting my responses reecently max....

bionicman Posted October 9, 2006 Report Share Posted October 9, 2006 this problem is annoying i had the same problem of my rear hope xc skipping but i ended up changing the rear single speed cog, this stoped the skipping but if it keeps doing it just go for a new hub Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
