profile rear hubs....
« on: January 27, 2006, 19:39:17 PM »
hi. Sad
i bought a new wheel yesterday. profile hub on a atomlab rim. Mint, but i felt something loose when i fitted it but i couldnt figure out where it was....today, i spent half hour finding where it was lose and it is coming from my hub. it wobbles ever so slightly from side to side.....
i have been told this is the bearings.....my mate had a similar problem and this turned out to be the bearings and profile wouldnt change them on warrenty......any help would be greatly appreciated
regards

They appear to use some very thin washers in between the freehub bearing and the main hub bearing to take up any slack in their rubbsih tolerances. We've had hubs with no washers and some with 2 or 3, if we remove them the hub has slight play.

Not to mention how the pawls manage to chew up the ratchet and leave thousands of little shards in the freehub or how the driveside main hub bearing seems to last about 2 weeks.

Oh dear... doesnt sound good at all. Are they all like that or only without the washers?

my mate has somehow snapped the axle off where the freehub meets the body TWICE!
i think *hope* he's changing the hub now!
