Mr Dave Posted February 26, 2007 Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 Heywho has got this front hub ? or have had one.how long did it last?so how strong are they?Ta Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greetings Posted February 26, 2007 Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 All I heard was that they're very weak. If you want a light hub you might want to check out Soul Kozak components. The front disc hub weighs about 110g and is very strong, a non disc will probably be under 80. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Dave Posted February 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 Humm i found there site, but cant find anywhere that sells there stuff, not even there prices.Ok the hubs may be weak, but what happens when they break? i don't do big drops, or massive front wheel moves, i do tap, but not very hard.....And for 20 quid as long as it lasts 6 months ill be happy...noone got one?Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobinJI Posted February 27, 2007 Report Share Posted February 27, 2007 Ive got a Ringle Abbah SOS on the back of my freeride bike, its lush, and bombproof, thats about all I can say about it.If I remember rite then the mono on CRC is 100g-ish, so not exactly heavy, thats what I'd go with if I wasn't running a front disc.
