Has anybody here any experience of these? https://www.bricklanebikes.co.uk/ridea-ht-track-rear-hub-silver

The low weight and 28H drilling is attractive but there doesn't seem much web chatter about them in use. Looking for some decent hubs without having to go for relatively heavy, high spoke count Phils etc..?

Malcolm at the Cycle Clinic likes the road version, perhaps he could get the track version ( @thecycleclinic on here).

He does list Zenith hubs, which are perfectly good and you can get a pair for less than a rear Ridea.

For future reference, BLB are notorious for charging way over the odds: if you find something you like there, you'll find it cheaper somewhere else.

PS Why 28h?

Not as strong as 32h and with no aero gain.

heard only good things about them. I really like the lockring which is made to be used with a bb tool. Only thing is the aluminium body strips away pretty quickly as with all aluminium hubs.

Fair point - just trying to see if I can get closer to my (24/28) road wheels in terms of weight. The current 32H track wheels on my SS "everyday bike" have been solid as a rock - but they're not light.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
