Smallville Posted October 28, 2006 Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 I have seen this yellow hub on some Zhi bikes now but I dont know what brand it is. I thought it was Zhi but I cant find them on their site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTF Posted October 28, 2006 Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 It may be custom painted.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smallville Posted October 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 It may be custom painted..Could be, but I have seen a few Zhi riders who have thoose. If it was custom painted it would be more likely that just one rider had it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigjames Posted October 28, 2006 Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 is it not a mavic hub? the ones they use in their wheels sets look very similar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Posted October 28, 2006 Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 As curley_freak said take a look at the mavic deemax wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smallville Posted October 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 is it not a mavic hub? the ones they use in their wheels sets look very similarNo its not. The mavic hub is for a 20mm axel, the ones on a suspensionfork. I just checked Zhibike.com and they have just released disc front hubs that looks like in the picture shape wice but not in that colour. Maybe that colour is something special for thier team raider. Dont think they look so good in yellow but its allways interesting with new parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomm Posted October 28, 2006 Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 Why the hell do people keep thinking that things in that picture are cool?

Martyn Ashton would be spinning in his grave.Stupid helmetStupid pink rimsStupid yellow hubsStupid pixie boots Etc.People is not stupid for thinking that some parts are cool. Maybe everyone dont like what you like. If you like everything black go for it but I want call you stupid for that. And according to Martyn he can continue spinning in his grave I dont care. Guess John Lennon is spinning in his grave if he heard all the shit misic that are made today. But thats how it is, as time goes new trends will come.

So that you can use quick release axles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadChikken Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 Nah its definately not a Mavic hub as the disc-side hub flange is much larger than the off side looking at the picture. Something simillar to a monty or Viz hub maybe? But again, likely a custom painted version....M@ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun H Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 It's not a DeeMax hub, you can't lace them radially as the spokes are straight pull. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinJI Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 (edited) Its not a Mavic, 1. AS said above, you cant radialy lace them in any way. 2. They dont make them in 32 hole. 3. You can see that it uses normal spoking, not straight pull ones like the mavic.Looks like its just a custom painted one. Edited October 29, 2006 by Dont you Just Hate it When...

PaRtZ Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 Martyn Ashton would be spinning in his grave. :'( He's dead? :'( *I know its a joke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinJI Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 Unless you're a Mavic team rider Pretty sure they still wouldn't make them in a 32hole option, as it would require entirely different forgings due to the hub design, its not like just drilling a different amount of holes in a normal flange. I know some of the team riders used to run 32 hole Dee-Max rims on hope/other makes hubs (sometimes painted yellow so as not to draw attention), but never seen a mavic hub in 32hole before.

But no, I actually didn't realise he was swedish. Which is quite ironic cos it means he's obviously not stupid Sorry for any inconvenience caused.
