... Threads on a Hub
Has anyone ever had the threads on their hub go through use only? I was riding around on the polo bike yesterday and threads on an Ambrosio gave up the ghost (threads on the cog - big ass 22 I got from HH last week - are fine). I completely concede that it could have been cross threaded - although I don't think it was... I've been riding the bike hard (brakeless, so lots of skidding - and I'm a big guy). It was tight and nothing was slipping until last night when coming home when the cog was no longer driving anything.
So - threads failing after a week. Possible? If so, I'm not riding my polo bike anywhere but polo anymore.
