Oh ok I know nowt about folders. Something decent to last hub not a major issue. How much?
Edit: gave the hub a google. Suspension on a folder, class. I shall ask shortly.
I assume you mean that you will ask your pal and maybe get back to me.
If you search around from this link (sorry - I can't link to the exact page)https://sslrelay.com/s75353868.onea...nid=154ff193461d6f4/shopdata/index.shopscript
and look for the following, you will see something similar in:
Dahon Kinetix Pro Front Wheel with Pantour Hub 14 Spoke Black 20"(Special Price)
BUT NOTE that mine doesn't have that (unwise i think) ultra low spoke count system. Being more conventional, it would have been a bit cheaper than that I think. But very possibly stronger/more reliable.
It has 20 spokes.
I've checked it - rim seems to have very little wear indeed - not surprising as the bike has only been used fairly rarely and I have used a different front wheel for most of it's life.
I may have some spare dampening inserts as well - also possibly some spare bearings.
Let me know if you need to know more.
If your pal decides to go the brand new route, I can recommend CH White - very good service.
Well hello Mtzer ! - good to hear from you - as I awoke this morning to be told that at some ungodly hour you, an entirely new bod with no history, had initiated a "follow" on me - was rather wondering what it was all aboutHello @Blue Hills !
I know this is an ancient thread but maybe you still have some info about those Bearings and elastomers?!
I need to buy spare parts for the Pantour Hub and I am desperately looking for any information regarding the dimensions of the bearings and elastomers.
Any information would be really appreciated!
Thanks!
Pantour went out of business already several years ago and even during their last years in business it was difficult to get information. I've no personal experience with the hub but what most people I know that have said was basically: Interesting experience and concept, but not worth the hassle longterm - most of them replaced the Pantour hub relatively quickly with a conventional one or a dynamo hub.I need to buy spare parts for the Pantour Hub and I am desperately looking for any information regarding the dimensions of the bearings and elastomers.

Can I ask where you are?Hello,
So I called Ben and he sent me the rest of the elastomers he had though they already solidified. Unfortunately, they weren't even useful for the dimensions as they were the pre-2004 hub which only used one cylindrical shaped elastomer. My version uses two elastomers, a cube and another smaller rebound strip. I need it for the Kinetics pro wheel if that helps, it could be great if you have the Bearings and the elastomers.
Thanks a lot
What you could try is bathing them in softener that is usually used for clothes - quite often this helps at least temporarily.he sent me the rest of the elastomers he had though they already solidified.
Wonderful, I'll try that since I was just going to throw them at some point!What you could try is bathing them in softener that is usually used for clothes - quite often this helps at least temporarily.
Interested in how it went. People that restore old cars use this trick a lot for revitalizing old seals that replacements are not avail. for.Wonderful, I'll try that
