monty221pr Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 Went out riding the other day, nice gap to front and as i landed heard a massive cracking noise, looked down front wheel was touching the forks and disk was well out of line.Looked a little closer and i saw this beast.Check out this beast of a buckle.Any thing like this happened to anyone before?Sam.

Boswell Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 You where just asking for that! Look how thin the hub is! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eskimo Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 The VIZ hubs are built to a much higher standard than the Echo line of hubs. So don't hold your breath there. Also i'll probably put it down to your disk putting alot of stress through the hub. I honestly doubt it's a defect so a warranty is a no go. It's also a light weight hub so you can't expect mirracles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's also a light weight hub so you can't expect mirracles.To be fair, it's a trials hub, and a disk hub, so as a rider you'd expect it to be able to stand front wheel moves, and not do that?Good effort anyway! I'd go for a Hope hub next if I were you, XC will be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rav Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 main body looks twisted...so wrong lanced wheel ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiamWood! Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 It will look twisted becuase as he has gapped to front the all the weight would go to the disc side because the disc is holding all the weight.Thus twisting the hub out of shape, sam is rather smoooth aswel!Just get a new one, you seem to pull money out of every orifice (sp?)

basher Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 stan shaw is running a viz fine, it could of happened if you had a bad wheel build meaning there was to much twisting force going on the hub from brakeing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eskimo Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 to me viz dont have a good reputation. i know of 3 products used by people and the ended up gettin a crack in themThe 08 forks are currently the best on the market. The hubs use decent bearings, the bars are super stiff and i'd say Viz products are generally really good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyseemonkeydo Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 That really is quite impressive... and not good! Does look a lot like the force going through the hub from the disc hasn't been handled very well by the hub body causing it to twist like that.
