  • Is this trispoke the version with a shimano freehub body? (that can be exchanged with the surly fixxer)

    It has what looks like cup & cone bearings + shimano uniglide thread....

    @mdcc_tester ?

  • Is this trispoke the version with a shimano freehub body? (that can be exchanged with the surly fixxer)

    My guess is yes and no. It's a Shimano rotor, but I'm pretty sure it's the 7403 pattern which attaches a different way (big 2-start thread) that's not compatible with the spline connection used by the Fixxer.

    AFAIK, the Fixxer compatible ones are HG only, not that HG/UG hybrid with the external lock ring threads. I can't remember when the transition happened, but it does not coincide with the switch from Specialized to Hed, so that's not the way to tell. It's either there are some Specialized HG ones or there are some Hed HG/UG hybrid ones🤷‍♂️

  • Thanks for the details

  • it would appear the change also coincided with a change in carbon weave as my hed with the yellow/orange faded sticker is like the above wheel and features the hub in the schematic. Hed seemed to have their own version of a fixxer type adapter, did they actually invent it? My Pro Am disc is fitted with something like that but it isnt removeable - likewise my rear spinergy rev-x is the same.
