King C Posted January 24, 2010 Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 I'd ge the ISO if I were you big boy. Why? You don't seem to have any reason or evidence to back that response. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skoze Posted January 24, 2010 Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 (edited) They're effectively the same, just with different hubshells. If anything, the singlespeed's stronger as it's got less driveshell to it and a wider hubshell. And you ride mod; why are you looking at getting a singlespeed? Either way; use a rear disc/ want one? Get an ISO Don't have/ want one? Get a singlespeed. Edited January 24, 2010 by Skoze Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joshlyd1 Posted January 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 Yehh sorry i need to change that to stock Well Shaun H on here told me that the singlespeed hubshells are a lot weaker than the ISO shells is this true ? Thankssss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al_Fel Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 Classic hub shells tend to have spokes rip out on the flanges but I've only ever seen that on 36 hole hubs. My mate's got a 32 hole classic shell and its been going for the last 6 or 7 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben John-Hynes Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 Get whatever Shaun's got. I've never seen it skip/need looking at once in about 21/2 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thankssss Don't listen to Shaun. Either one will be fine. You wont break the hubshell. Classic or single speed.

Al_Fel Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 Thanks everyone I will think il go with the ISO , what axles are the best for trials ? I will be using it on a piranha HD axle but grind the teeth flat on the drive side to stop it cracking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigjames Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 HD axle but grind the teeth flat on the drive side to stop it cracking. Stop what cracking, the axle? Myself, Andrei Burton and Si Whitby were chatting about this on Sunday, none of us have had a problem with our king rear hubs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myself, Andrei Burton and Si Whitby were chatting about this on Sunday, none of us have had a problem with our king rear hubs. Yeh, grinding the teeth off the drive side of the CK HD axle does stop them from cracking, what happens is because the corners of the teeth are very sharp a crack will form and then travel inwards to the step where the axle diameter increases to the driveshell needle bearings sit, the crack will not reach the bearing race but it will travel around the step and then a chunk of the steel out will fall out, I have had this happen to my 2 previous HD axles, the current one has had the teeth removed so this one will last for ever One thing to note about which hub you choose, If you get a single speed you get an aluminium drive shell, it is neccesary that you run a wide based cog otherwise it will dig in and wreck the drive shell, If you can an ISO you should specify a stainless steel drive shell.

quick_spider Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 I would be careful about where you get your axles from - I'm pretty sure they are graded by bearing size - indicated by the number(s) in the diamond etched onto the end.

pogo Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 It doesn't really matter on the driveshell unless you're a proper monster, just ensure you run a wide base cog, trialtech are the best option in my opinion, good value and perform almost identical to chris kongs own sprocket.

Mat Smith!! Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 Sorry but what am i looking at ? as in i see the crack on the right but i do not know where the spikey things are? They are at the end of the axel, its there to stop your wheel moving about in the frame pretty much, cos it grips n thaaaaaaaa, ive never had a problem with it, i also had a crack like that on my classic when i had stock and i ran it for a year and a half and nothing happend, its still going today also, so meh haha.

I'm not saying don't get the steel version, but you wont need it. Mine have taken some abuse and have been more than fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
