Trials Boy Posted October 17, 2006 Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 Hi allIm seriously thinking of ordering a 07 pitbull for xmas but i need to look more into it, my current wheel is a try all rim on profile hub, i would love to use the profile as its been my favourite wheel.I know this is by far a hard question but could anyone tell me if this was 116mm? : Or does anyone know of a 116mm hub? because i dont really get the idea of this whole 116mm thing...Any help guys?Thanks very much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonCongreve Posted October 17, 2006 Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 (edited) That looks like a mtb hub by profile, capable of using 8/9 gears i think, which means it'll be 135mm spacing, although i may be wrong. To find out the exact length all you have to do is measure from one axle end to another Edited October 17, 2006 by JonCongreve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caleb Posted October 17, 2006 Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 yours is a 135, mod is 110, however with snail cams either side equates too around 116.personally i think this new idea is a load of bollocks and wont m,make any difference to the ride of the frame anyway.just couldnt think of anything else to change so he altered something unecassary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobinJI Posted October 17, 2006 Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 What 24seven do you have? If its the Holroyd then the hub must be a 110mm spacing, so will fit no problem atall, But if its any other 24seven frame, then it will be 135mm and wont fit. If its 135 then just get a normal pitbull and a tensioner, rather than the mod one, it will be alot cheeper than a new hub and wheelbuild.The deal with 116mm spacing as explained above is so that you can run a 110mm hub, with a 3mm snail cam on each side without having to flex the stays apart. If you don't wan't snailcams just wack 3mm of washers on there.Is that picture of your profile in your frame or just an example? because that looks like a 135mm 9-speed hub in vertical dropouts.

I rather like the idea.No tensionerSide hop to the right stillUse of your old mod hubSomething a little different to ride, geometry wise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobinJI Posted October 22, 2006 Report Share Posted October 22, 2006 Ah, OK, sorry, from one of your other posts I thought you were riding a 24seven for trials, as you're riding a Giant with that hub, then sorry, but that looks like its a 135mm spaced 9speed hub. I know what you mean about horizontals being much nicer and neeter, I'm getting my Iolo with horizontals on it soon for exactly the same reason.
