Very good knowledge!🧡

seeing you work on that freehub reminded me of a weekend away with my cycling club years ago. we rode from Swansea to Aberystwyth on the Saturday, and when nearly there one of the boys freewheels (the old screw-in type) started to seize up and act like a fixed wheel. He foolishly left it overnight rather than seeking out a LBS and the following morning it had seized solid - not ideal for a very hilly ride back home! He thought he'd take the back wheel off to try some sort of fix, and as he did the freewheel just fell to bits and came off with it, with springs and pawls pinging out all over the place! Result - one useless back wheel and a ride home in the support van! great video as always 🙂

Your videos are always food for thought! My old wheels were cup and cone Shimano HG. Now with touring wheels with heavy duty hubs and obviously full contact sealed bearings and very heavy grease used, I have something to compare with. As soon as the very smooth bearings spin much longer, confirmed with turning the axle by hand I should leave them alone. The freehub sound is so different, these are not the old Shimano HG freehubs. Not knowing the brand Seido Magnon hubs other than Bombtrack, I wouldn't know bearing sizes until apart. I'm keeping the stock Topstone wheels around in case of problems. I could do all this at home in that case. So far, extremely pleased.

@Bikespeeds

2 ай бұрын

Setup is key, the more tools you have the better in my experience, I had to get a new bearing press for this wheel and I already have 6!🧡

When you pressed the two bearings together into the free hub body, your drift was on the inner race instead of the outer race. It’s best to always press bearings in on the outer race if the press fit is on the outer race and vice versa if the bearing is pressed onto a shaft (I.e. on the inner race)

I really like the bontrager tyres, I think they're underrated.

Lee, you said early that 1x drivetrains don't typically have their chains last as long. Why is that. Never encountered that before. And clutched drivetrains.

@_J.F_

2 ай бұрын

There is more sideways tension on a 1x than there is on a 2x just because the chain has to travel up an down the cassette while remaining on just one chainring at the front, instead of having two chainrings meaning less of an angle as you use the low gears while on the small chainring and the high gears while on the big chainring.

I wonder, currently most wheel hubs are on the lower end in comparison toa servicing price. So this hub originaly had to cos a fortune for the owner to prefer new hub and redoing the wheel over bearing replacing. In Poland - a good enough hub + re- wiring cost would be for about 500 PLN. So I wonder does it translate to 100 GBP ?
