what is the cost of those hubs and where can i get it? where is the shop?

 

Grant does not have a shop, but fwiw he is close to Pirates club in Greenside. The Fireeye hubs look very nice, and Mikes bikes in Greenside had some 10 days ago or so.

 

If you can stretch to it, Chris King hubs have a 5 year warrantee - which is worth some of the cost - my feeling is that over 3 years, they cost less ultimately than most hubs as they need less maintenance - seals seem to work better too.

Got DTSwiss hubs (Onyx?) that came with my bike in 2007. Haven't touched them ever, wheels still spin free. Haven't ever been too careful about keeping water out of them either.

 

Not sure how much less maintenance I could have done on them?

 

LBS might have greased them on the rare occasion my bike goes there.

 

Suspect that hubs with cartridge bearings require less maintenance than those with loose ball's...
