What bike / wheel was that off? Seen 2 of the same hub do that recently! - Alleged theory is that it is old OEM stock that was not designed to withstand the larger forces of bigger wheels (But in my opinion just rubbish to cover themselves cos they messed up in QC)
From the ZTR site - not yet updated with 650b, but likely same scenario! "WTB TCS and UST 29 inch tires are too tight for Stan's Notubes rims and NoTubes licensed rims such as Sun Ringle Black Flag."
From SRAM themselves on their rear deraileurs... 3 cage lengths available: short for DH, medium for 2X10 and long for 3X10 So you should prob use a medium, but long will work as well.
Surely they would sell more with just keeping the wheels both 650b??? Cos then it might actually a pretty cool, fun bike! Cos that 29er front ain't gonna like the switch backs we tend to enjoy!
From the 2014 KZNMTB Calendar... 9-11 May Fri-Sun SAPPI KARKLOOF CLASSIC (World Championship Qualifier for Masters 30+) So I presume you have to ride this to qualify? Not sure if there will be other events around the country?
They are more trail wheels compared to the American classics... Hubs are awesome and roll beautifully. Come with all the adapters for front and back, so better compatibility if you change frames!
