poopipe Posted October 29, 2005 Report Share Posted October 29, 2005 there's about 4 or 5 different profile cassette hubs available and theres not much to choose between them on price so which is the one to get? are the SS ones better ? are the mini ones better? are the SS minis better than that? hypothetically this is going on a mod - if i suddenly decide to spend 170quid on a hub Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaRtZ Posted October 29, 2005 Report Share Posted October 29, 2005 (edited) I sense a wiggle shopper (Y) Its the cheapest place for them but Im guessing you already know that As for the hub this is the one in gold you'lll need (for a mod/bmx) Unless its a monty (Y) Its 12t cog which suits an 18t chainring. The silver one has a 13t driver, so you'd have to buy a separate driver for that if you got it Alternatively, Tartybikes sell them in varying colours with a 12t driver, but at a slightly higher price.

EDIT: Damn clipboard actually it was from some bmx shop - i think they were marginally cheaper, wish i could remember which one it was now.. so its the mini then.. anyone know whats different about the SS version.

narrowbars Posted October 30, 2005 Report Share Posted October 30, 2005 The hub shell on the ss is stronger and heavier than on the mini. Most people use a 36h mini with allen key bolts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Si-man Posted October 30, 2005 Report Share Posted October 30, 2005 Get it from alansbmx. You can get them with a ti driver (cog cant be split), and a standard driver (can replace the cog) (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
