Zeus NOS hubs, Quick release, is it a problem?

Posted on
  • Hey guys, I am thinking about buying these http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=180329618892

    They look really nice, But i'm concerned about the fact that they are both quick release. Is this going to be a problem or are their any drawbacks to putting quick release hubs on a track frame? I wouldnt be using the quick release levers anyway, I would be using a pinhead skewer locking system with them.

  • no problems as far as im aware

  • SS, fixed or geared? Hubs are spaced for a 5-speed block, you'll have to respace them. I think this means that the wheel will have to have some dishing when it's built as well.
    There's also no thread for lockring.
    I see no reason whatsoever for not running QR on a track frame, unless you actually want to ride it on the track.
