Very heavy duty rear hub required

[Bollo]

Well I'm 125kg or so.
My old hard tail takes the abuse with fox forks and hope hubs .
New bikes with stock wheels are not always good

Then get those 🤷‍♂️

The cones won't lock because it's a junk formula hub as mentioned

Something actually starting to approximate to a description of the problem.

Hallelujah.

No idea why you think more expensive hubs, if cone & cup, will lock better somehow.

😂😂😂😂😂 Bell end

A reasonable way to describe complaining about very expensive kit and wanting recommendations for even more expensive kit without even saying what the problem with the very expensive kit is.

£400 for a pair of 29" disc brake tubeless wheels is not expensive kit which is probably why the hub is falling apart

Synchros is just Scott's in house brand in the same way as Trek's Bontrager. It's just a brand slap on something bought from a factory in Asia. It's only as good or as bad as the manufacturer beneath the sticker. Scott bikes are super expensive generally. I would look for some hubs suitable for downhill maybe Hope Pro 4 hubs.

Yes they have branded formula hub and Alex rims so not the best.
I'm going for a Chris king hub.
I will also use DB spokes rather than plain gague....🙄

Hey @Biker BoB , what bike do you have? Also what size tyres are on the bike because I was wondering how much cushion there is in the ride quality? Thanks.

Set up quite stiff. 29" wheels

How many spokes are you going for?

The reason I suggested Hope was easy to service and very easy and fast access to spares. I've heard the Chris King spares situation can be more difficult but maybe that has changed.
