Tumbleweed Posted December 2, 2013 Posted December 2, 2013 (edited) After trashing three hubs on the BMX I bought recently, and getting sick of the warranty replacements, I bit the bullet and bought some new wheels on Saturday. Had the choice between these Alienation wheels in gold and red… …took to Twitter, my son (who rides the bike more than me!), and my bike shop colleagues. Although I was leaning towards the red, I got over-ruled and fitted the gold set… …not entirely despleased with the look…also had to fit a new chain, so opted for this Xposure half-link chain… Edited December 2, 2013 by Tumbleweed flyluis, Capricorn, wanderwoman and 5 others 8
"Mechanic" Posted December 2, 2013 Posted December 2, 2013 Hey there Tumbleweed, what were you or your son doing on the bike to break three hubs or was the quality just not that good? Nice wheels by the way makes the bike looks a lot cooler than original plain black.

Nice wheels by the way makes the bike looks a lot cooler than original plain black. Thanks! The hubs are apparently a poor design. It was explained to me, but I didn't pay too much attention. Apparently, it's not a good idea to run a cassette with a cup-and-cone setup.
