    148mm Boost hubs & Boost Cranksets

    After nearly 3 years and health issues, I'm well enough to resume my project do it all bike.... I've gone for the Hope Pro 4 148mm Boost rear hub. It's recommended to pair it with a boost chankset..... I have read comments that you can still run the hub with a standard crankset without...

    Campag Chorus hubs, maintenance and spares?

    In 1986 I had some bespoke wheels with Campagnolo Chorus hubs made. The bike has been lightly used recently and not ridden in bad weather. I noticed today that there was a lot of float in the bearing as the cones can't have been fully down. I think it was probably caused by them unscrewing when...

    Wheel bearing help please

    I've recently been experinceing brake judder on my front wheel (disk brakes). I couldn't find anything wrong with the brakes - disk not warped at all, pads and clearance seem okay. So I dug deeper. Front wheel is spinning freely, but perhaps not quite as freely / long as I'd like, although...

    Hope hubs

    Are they any good ? I'm having trouble with one of my training wheels and have suggested the builder just rebuilds it with a new hub rather than trying to fix the old one .

    Campag Khamsin Hubs

    I brought some new campag khamsin wheels just before xmas. Due to ice etc I've probably used them about 3 times. When cleaning the bike the other day I noticed that the rear wheel doesn't spin for a long as the font. I've backed off the brakes etc, but the rear doesn't spin anywhere near as...

    Road or MTB hubs for cyclocross wheel build?

    Couple of questions: Do cyclocross wheels usually feature road or mountain bike hubs? I'm assuming there's no such thing as cyclocross specific hubs? I'm looking for 6 bolt disc hubs, 28 spoke (front) and 32 spoke (rear), can anyone make any suggestions on particular models that won't break...

    SS Disc Hubs

    Just having a browse at components with an eye on a possible wheel build for my single speed disc brake bike next year, and wondered what people riding similar use and would recommend. The bike will mainly be used for commuting so good bearings, general durability and ease of maintenance are my...

    Noisy hubs when freewheeling

    Hi, I'm looking to buy a new bike and add to the frameset myself. My main concern is avoiding buzzing hubs, like the Hope hubs on Mavic wheels. I've currently got some very old Shimano hubs on my road bike, that are sweet and silent. I was just wondering if there were any known hubs that ran...

    Hubs Sora - 105 5800 spacing

    I wonder if you anyone can tell me, if I replace my back wheel which has a 9 speed Sora cassette with a wheel that has a 11 speed hub (105 5800) is there a detriment, i.e. does it working, rely on the derailleur stop setting, to prevent the chain coming off? I don't want to change the group...

    Flanged hubs

    Flanged hubs were very popular in the fifties & sixties, but went out of fashion. I must admit I've always thought they look good on a road bike with a decent chromoly frame, but what was the idea behind them and was there actually any particular advantage / drawback to them - ?

    Cassette Body Damage

    My Novatec hub cassette body is showing signs of wear, some indentations on the raised parts, I've only run Ultegra cassettes so was surprised to see this wear after only 4000 miles or so. See pic Is this normal? Do I need to replace the cassette body or have I a bit more life left yet? Thanks

    BHC Airlite hubs - how tight are your flanges?

    Oo-er missus. Mine can be pulled off easily by hand although they press into place without play. In a built wheel I assume there is a colossal amount of force holding them in place (and keeping the holes in phase relative to the rim), especially in a front wheel where the flanges are further...

    Rear Axle Problem

    This rear axle has a cross threaded lock nut...which is the red bit....Sealed bearings...On using the back wheel associated with it the cones came loose and I found the cross threaded lock nut which even the bike shop could not release... This is a hollow axle of approx 170cm so what I really...

    Recommend me some durable hubs for the commuter

    I currently have Shimano m475 and whilst the front has and continues to put in sterling service the rear Fhm475 is once again on its last legs with worn cups. The usual mode of failure is the bearing grease gets contaminated and manky and then unless caught soon enough the cups get grotty. The...

    Pitted bearing races in hubs

    I have a pair of vintage wheels, and the rear one feels notchy while turning the axle. It's a Sachs hub which, when stripped, looks decent quality. I degreased and cleaned the races, but on one side the bearing race is slightly pitted. Having discovered I could knock the race out I'm now...

    sticky wheel hubs - quick fix ?

    Is the following 'short-term' fix advisable ? What are the pros and cons ? The hubs in my daughters bike are a bit sluggish. The bearing are not too loose or tight. I think the reason is probably because the bike has not been used much and that the grease has solidified a little. The long...

    USB hubs

    I need to get a mains powered USB hub. I don't play computer games so lightning speed isn't much of an issue. I'll just connect a printer, mice, keyboard, an MP3 player etc and charge my bike lights, cameras, and extremely stupid phone. The usual guff. Do I really need a USB 3.0 hub? I can...

    Thru-axle road hubs - What's out there?

    I'm struggling to identify hubs / wheelsets which are thru-axle compatible. I believe I need hubs which are 12mm x 142mm rear and 15mm x 100mm front, with disc mounts (preferably Shimano spline pattern) and to take an 11 speed cassette. Rims need to be 700c, capable of taking a tyre up to...
