kid creole Posted April 21, 2007 Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 hi I'm looking for a fixed cassette hub but they all seem to be 32 hole and my fairly new rim is 36 hole so don't really wanna buy a new rim as well , i was thinking maybe tryall do them as i found what looked like one on there site but it doesn't say whether its fixed or not plus i cant read French that well.so if you know of one let me know.cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hugh_b Posted April 21, 2007 Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 the try-all cnc hub is fixed but i couldnt tell you if it was avaliable in 36hole or not. i would try to avoid paying out the sort of money koxx are asking for this hub though, i think there a little overpriced for what your getting really. -Hugh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaRtZ Posted April 21, 2007 Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 a fixed cassette hub? care to elaborate because this is a cassette hub:and you want one that doesn't turn? EG a jammed driver? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kid creole Posted April 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 (edited) a fixed cassette hub? care to elaborate because this is a cassette hub:and you want one that doesn't turn? EG a jammed driver? A fixed cassette hub is used with a front freewheel so it doesn't move it just holds the cassette , there are a few different ones about like echo and bt and viz but they are all 32 hole only.i think i might have given it the wrong name , but basically its a fixed hub that can take 6 gears Edited April 21, 2007 by Alain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ollie2000 Posted April 21, 2007 Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 hes saying buy a profile *** the hub so it doesnt move Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basher Posted April 21, 2007 Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 (edited) Are you meaning a hub that is fixed that will fit a cassete on it so in theory you could run gears. Or just generally do you mean a fixed rear hub, if so you are confuseing people by saying fixed cassette. A cassete i generally associated with a freehub as most fixed hubs use a screw on cog not a cassete fitting. Or thats how i see it lolEdit: Just read your posted above but cant be bothered amending my post.Edit : Can you not get the dmr revolver i think it is in 36 hole. That takes a cassette i believe.

kid creole Posted April 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 I'm not gonna buy a profile *** it up thats stupid !!! they cost about £140. I mean something like this but in 36 hole http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/product.php?id=411 . i already am using a dmr revolver but as the sprocket screws on to a thread theres no way of adjusting the chain line with my front freewheel which is the problem I'm having , so if i was to have a hub like the one in the link id be able to adjust it. I only called it a fixed cassette hub as it does have a cassette body its just fixed so seems an appropriate name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinJI Posted April 21, 2007 Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 He didn't mean buy a profile and lock it, he was demonstrating what a cassette hub was, to find out which you meant. Thats all.Anyway, you could always buy a cheapish mtb rear hub and solder up the freewheel mechanism. But not really the lightest option. Something like a DMR revolver 9-speed would probably be best.Also it is possible to adjust the chain line of a revolver SS slightly. As fixed sprockets have a thin base compared to a freewheel there's normally some room to play with thin washers and different offset sprockets.

kid creole Posted April 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 Yeah i did have a normal hub and just cable tied it so it couldnt rachet backwards and was permanetly engaged so it worked just like a fixed hub. But the thing is there are proper ones out there i was just trying to find out if anyone knows of one with 36 holes. I know partz wasnt saying to jam up a profile hub but some one after him said that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinJI Posted April 21, 2007 Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 Oh right, yeah, i know what you mean, its nice to have everything just the way it's meant to be. How far out is the chain line? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kid creole Posted April 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 Its about 10 mm out it still works but i cant be good for the chain being at that angle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinJI Posted April 21, 2007 Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 Ah, true. Which ways it out? could you use a longer/shorter BB maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kid creole Posted April 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 the freewheels closer in then the rear sprocket and im using a 127.5 try all bb so the rear sprocket needs to be moved in really which is where the hub i was after would be perfect.

RobinJI Posted April 21, 2007 Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 Oh right. Yeah, does sound ideal if you can find one. Someone must make one. I know wOOdman used to, but it's not on there site anymore. I'd have thought you can get the try-alls in 36 hole too, they make there rims in 36.

kid creole Posted April 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 yeah i think the try all one probably is fixed as all the koxx riders seem to use front freewheels , its just finding somwhere that sells them and they probably cost loads to being koxx an all.cheers for the help thou Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinJI Posted April 21, 2007 Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 If you mean this hub then it is definatly fixed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
