patches Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 Is that another fetish like your leg shaving? a small section at a time. Edit: stupid iPad hahaha! I already have the Easton Havoc orange stem on my AM bike. If I was due for new AM wheels those Havocs would be seriously tempting! Orange is awesome! You know it is... don't fight it
BikeBailing Posted July 4, 2012 Author Posted July 4, 2012 I see the Havoc only come in 20mm/QR, I need a 15mm on the front.

Screw orange. It won't go with my anodised blue

RockCoach Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 Nukeproof are generally great wheels but I know of a few guys with broken freebodies. They reckon that the pawls are too small.
patches Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 would you take the havocs over the havens for AM? with a 28mm external width... I'd go for the Havocs. The Havens have a 26mm width, which is getting on the skinny side. Especially of you wanna run 2.4s. You mught get some tyre-roll on the rear at lower pressures. Generators are 29mm external width and are labelled as "AM" wheels. Nukeproof are generally great wheels but I know of a few guys with broken freebodies. They reckon that the pawls are too small. I have some earlier gen nuke proofs and I have 1 engagement point that skips. I'm not sure what the cause is... because I haven't opened it to look ...I just live with it, haha! But yeah... I also have never serviced them during their period of abuse. The current Generator hubs seem to be slightly different. Maybe they fixed the issue?!

It won't go with my anodised blue course it will!

I'm too busy laughing here. I can't think of a decent comeback.
RockCoach Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 . I have some earlier gen nuke proofs and I have 1 engagement point that skips.

The current Generator hubs seem to be slightly different. Maybe they fixed the issue?! Could be. Ask Jason to have a look at the skipping issue.
BikeBailing Posted July 4, 2012 Author Posted July 4, 2012 Haha, I love the orange hubs! I'm building up on a On-one Evo 456, which I found after much reading is 135x10mm so don't seem to be to limited. Damn the dabloons are adding up on my wishlist!
BikeBailing Posted July 4, 2012 Author Posted July 4, 2012 The havocs would actually match my bike me thinks: http://www.on-one.co.uk/imgs/products/900x650_constWH/FROO4561_P1.jpg

BikeBailing Posted July 4, 2012 Author Posted July 4, 2012 When it arrived, it was alot darker than the pic which makes it look even better. I've been meaning to start a build fred but have been to lazy to take pics yet, will do so wen i have all the parts (incl wheels) and start building.
