kandui Posted June 7, 2014 Posted June 7, 2014 (edited) At the Knysna 200. Broke my Tune hub on the Lefty and don't have a spare wheel. I am looking for anyone who has a Lefty and can give me a wheel to finish the race.Asked all over , but no luck.Anyone on the Hub that can help?Contact me on 0836319796. RegardsRobert Edited June 7, 2014 by kandui
kandui Posted June 7, 2014 Author Posted June 7, 2014 Sorted. Rocky Mountain have given me a bike to ride.Thanks Eugene , Jarryd and Martin! CleatsnCleavage, Matchstix and droo 3
King_Crispy Posted June 7, 2014 Posted June 7, 2014 Big up.That deserves support from the hub community for that.
kandui Posted June 7, 2014 Author Posted June 7, 2014 (edited) Not bad. Only rode it today and I am comparing it to my Scalpel.One thing I must say is that the SLX brakes don't need to hide from their XTR cousin.Excellent dosing and stopping power. The head tube angle is slacker than my Scalpel which felt like I could let the bike go a bit more. The Scalpel is definitely more twitchy and a race machine.The lighter Scalpel climbs better and is faster on the flats.If you're a guy or gal that likes a good all round , versatile Fully with a bit of a fun factor, the Element 950 is a bike to consider.I can't fault the RM and am just relieved to have a bike to ride.Will be interesting to see what the guys from Tune have to say about my hub. It looks like someone took a bite out of it! Edited June 8, 2014 by kandui
Matchstix Posted June 7, 2014 Posted June 7, 2014 Tune are awesomely light, BUT race wheels only and if you are on the lighter side, this happened to a guy at the epic. This meant his freehub was gone. . .
King_Crispy Posted June 7, 2014 Posted June 7, 2014 Never trust a leftyI'd better keep an eye on mine then...
kandui Posted June 8, 2014 Author Posted June 8, 2014 Will post a pic tomorrow.By the way, a guy I know cracked an AX Lightness rim at the Knysna 200 today. Â
Matchstix Posted June 8, 2014 Posted June 8, 2014 Ax lightness once again race only stuff. The team we looked after we changed stems. Those things are scary to tighten and makes these cracking noises. When you torque to 3nm
kandui Posted June 9, 2014 Author Posted June 9, 2014 (edited) Here is my broken hub. Edited June 9, 2014 by kandui
kandui Posted June 9, 2014 Author Posted June 9, 2014 Sent a picture with comments to Tune in Germany. Let's see what they have to say.
droo Posted June 9, 2014 Posted June 9, 2014 (edited) While we're on the subject, this from a mate in NZ this morning... Said mate has, among other things, bent both pedal axles casing a road gap on a hardtail (and stayed on) and snapped a Boxxer brace. Next level. Edited June 9, 2014 by droo
