    Hey Stretched Haven't seen your name on here an a long time, then again I don't hop in here too often. How are you ?

    Thanks Splat much appreciated. I've worked on many of these older wheels over the years. Constantly fixing "expert wheelbuilders" work and thats often the biggest challenge. It's only a few years in to wheel ownership the true test of. good build shows. Provided the nipples move freely, I would definitely be able to help. Wheel tech has changed immensely over the years, one of my latest builds.

    It’s gonna take a lot more than that to hit a nerve. I enjoy fixing home expert mechanics jobs, some should stick to Lego.

    Novatec is available locally and priced well.

    Oh the good old days.When men were hard, before they traded their putters for MTB’s. The good old singlespeed battles out on that course. What an event 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

    Maybe I should get him in to rebuild a Force AXS shifter for me, with new plunger and piston included. It’s Lego.

    If you go over par, you still get dronk with all the other hacks, if you go over the bar, it’s straight to ER and Oros for dinner.

    Never hang up the cleats. Golf is for quitters.

    You are so right, I’m still learning how to hold an allen key.

    I strip 3 or 4 of these down weekly, and the only time the pawls are a problem is when some home mech got hold of it.
  13. Wyatt Earp
    It’s a generic hub. In all honesty the pawls shouldn’t wear out, just do regular maintenance and if I can give any constructive advice, don’t t pack the pawls with grease , rather use a high grade wet line.

    I’m gonna have to put a hand up for Craft Cycles in Sunninghill. Good music, good coffee and passionate mechanics. Yes, it’s a shameless punt.
  15. Wyatt Earp
    Looks like a tough event
  16. Wyatt Earp

  19. Wyatt Earp

    Just over a year before my new profile as it stands now

    My guess would be that the dropouts are not your problem. It’s either axle spacing or dishing, dishing doesn’t just go out, unless the wheel was not dished properly to being with and spoke length not correct (in this case drive side) But for now I’m gonna guess axle spacing.

    I love telling that story, on the positive side, two wheels I immensely enjoyed to build 😀

    I’ve had people try and claim a new drivetrain 🙈 One thing I see often are cracked rims. There are many reasons why these cracks appear, and I don’t want to deviate from the topic, but mostly the rider has no idea why the rims are cracking all over the place. Cracks appear around the nipple holes and also through the cross section, and these cracks appear way before a rider totally wrecks a rim due to over exuberance.
  24. Wyatt Earp
    Make that 5/10

    I’ve seen guys try and pull a fast one, and I have made some enemies refusing to get involved. I agree, to me the OP is not trying to fleece the insurance for all he can, and I did make it clear the hubs will “likely” IMHO not be covered. Also I don’t think the OP is quite sure on the technical aspects of how these things may happen. Depending on who is covering the bike and what you covered it for, even casing a jump, you will be paid out regardless, but if it happens to become a regular thing, they will definitely start tightening the screws.
