  • I have asked Malcolm @cycleclinic to build me a rear road wheel on one of these Mackhubs. I hope the hub will be a cut above the Novatech/Formula class.

  • Definately look a cut-above but at 160eur (on their website) I'd hope so.

    I've commuted on a Goldtec rear for a decade with no issues, these look like they have similar bearing shielding to protect from the elements. I guess that's key to all-weather longevity.

    Rather irritatingly I've just seen these (https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32874752956.html?spm=a2g0o.detail.1000023.11.582f6e36xhhzST) which seem to have some bearing protection as well as still being cheap as...

    I wonder if a suitably sized washer might do the same job on the unprotected ones?

  • I've only ever had one hub fail catastrophically, and that was a Mack Superlight hub. Mind you, it was a front hub, laced radially, and the rear is still fine - hopefully you won't have the same issue. I replaced the failed Mack hub with a Novatec one. It's been fine.
