Martin Grainger Posted July 28, 2007 Report Share Posted July 28, 2007 (edited) might be getting one of these if i can get rid of the profile wheel...but is it worth it hahaathis topics helped so much, and also not.can they take alot of pressure on them without skipping??does the sprocket size effect theamount of skipping?sorry, just trying to find out why some skip and some dont.

Martin Grainger Posted July 28, 2007 Report Share Posted July 28, 2007 yeah, its a 36h hub onto a 32h rim, they said its something to do with warranty, but i think my warranty may have run out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted July 28, 2007 Report Share Posted July 28, 2007 It can be spoked up with no problems.I don't know how, but post a topic about how to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinJI Posted July 28, 2007 Report Share Posted July 28, 2007 It's in the FAQs somewhere, have a hunt around.As for the deng hubs, if the drive ring is indeed glued in then all I have to say is what a bag of dick.Never used one myself, but that alone would put me off.

Gavyn. Posted July 28, 2007 Report Share Posted July 28, 2007 a mates had one for a while it's pretty good really, slips alot more than my profile did but it only slips one engagement so it's nothing to worry about really Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Janson Posted July 29, 2007 Report Share Posted July 29, 2007 I love Inur.And for the record, I rode a bog standard ACS Claws freewheel for easily over a year, NEVER skipped on me. No servicing, didn't even loctite/weld the lockring. My King skipped easily 20 times in the first few months. Got new rings and it's been mint since.Glue seems sketchy, got pics?

Has anyone seen my shoe? Posted July 29, 2007 Report Share Posted July 29, 2007 Just get a 36H rim rather then part with your profile! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted July 29, 2007 Report Share Posted July 29, 2007 Chris Holm rim, for the win.Woooo I wrote poetry.Talk to Dan6061 he has a holm rim on a profile. I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavyn. Posted July 29, 2007 Report Share Posted July 29, 2007 sell the profile and get the deng hub it's worth the risk if you keep it well serviced it will serve you aswell as any other hub for it's price. and even if it does skip once or twice it's better than braking the hubshell on a profile.

blaze_ Posted July 30, 2007 Report Share Posted July 30, 2007 If my memory doesn't lie the Chris King drivering is also glued in......yeah actually from seeing a movie of how to put back together a King it is........So it maybe depends on the glue.....Never ridden a deng freehub, but the 108.9=shit. It's been like 6 months of riding and my riding is like 2 times at a week and it started skipping last week......Thinking of getting an Echo FW maybe.....

sapu Posted July 30, 2007 Report Share Posted July 30, 2007 echo fw.......sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted July 30, 2007 Report Share Posted July 30, 2007 Why not? (is it to do with spoke holes?)Yep.Glue seems sketchy, got pics?Its glue and a thread. Most hubs just use a thread... so it's actually a better system.echo fw.......sure First batch freewheel with materials defect, all been recalled, shouldn't have been sold.

Will Fairburn Posted August 1, 2007 Report Share Posted August 1, 2007 But that not what you said. You said they were relying on their name to sell stuff and that it was a shitty approach. Koxx do the yabaa stuff too, the bows the cheap copies of the levelbosses at entry level prices.Koxx have recently brought out the following:20" XTP long & short versionsKarbonWaspKoxx CoustellierKSASDerangboy (i thought this was dangerboy )The vinco ExcessboyKirlThe hydroxx framesThe "kamel"The crazy, hippy, flowered coloured thing (don't know what frame that ended up being, dual top tube one)Yabaa bowCheaper Levelboss bikesDengs brought out:Updates on existing frame he's been doing for a while; Pitbull, python, Control, adamant A1, GU, Lite, Team and echo pure.Recently released the A3Done the mod-stock things on the pitbull, control and adamant lines.Koxx have definately done more with regards to R&D on frames, maybe this is their main concern with the amount of parts already available. Theres also the 108.9 click freewheel, the new ranges of bars (rage ones look very very good), fluro and mirror Rims, Peddles, Ti Bolts , Helmets, Headset, Gloves.Theres a lot of stuff there thats been overlooked, and enough stuff to prove that they've hardly "done a monty". How many clothes ranges and helmets has deng done? New frames?Lets face it, he's got a lot of products, but their all the same thing with just slight cosmetic changes.Ok, Koxx have done more but whats snapped more, Deng frames or koxx's . the try-all freewheel reviews are 65% poor, the ti-bolts reviews - 80% say there weak.Deng isn't exactly the best but neither is koxx,What do you expect when its pregnant chinese female labourer working at 1p an hour, forging your headset, cranks, bars, etc..together?

I'm pretty sure you could get better quality bolts cheaper than the tryalls, but people are lazy and buy shitty generic products at prices set way too high. All companies do it.I'm a Koxx fanboy myself, but I wouldn't be able to afford one of their frames unless I stopped eating for 3 months...
