hi again,
Finally got a chance to have proper look at this again and get a few pix (will post shortly). Anyway it's official - this is a roadie hub. I went and saw the good people at Cavendish (think i talked to Hassan - forgot to ask his name) and yeah the hub is dodgy. Basically his advice was go see Paul immediately as you're riding a death trap. + don't back break! I am really disappointed because i was just looking for a fair, cheap wheel to keep me going for a bit and this has worked out rubbish. Gonna speak with Paul and see what can be done, but doubtful about the outcome. If it all goes tits up, does anyone have a basic rear track hub? And anyone wanna help me re-build it (dale, arup?). The bitch is i need it for my commute from Battersea to Clerkenwell daily and can't go without even for a few days.
I'll kee pyou posted on outcome, this is a rubbish result so far :-(
