Halo aerorage

My post was about the rear hubs, not the rims, which have been fine (as you'd expect from Halo). General build was good too and neither wheel had needed truing from 3 months of riding them, which was a pleasant surprise.

I live at the top of a big, steep hill and tend to do gentle skids to slow down, as well as using my front brake. I'm also about 14 stone. So they get more abuse than they would if I was a lighter person, living in a flatter bit of London.

Frankly, if Halo had just said "oops, maybe you got a bad one, here's another" I'd have probably taken them at their word. But since their attitude is "must have been you cross-threading the entire cog 3 months previously" without even examining them, I'm taking that brazen "fuck off" as an acknowledgement that they are all of a similar quality, ie cheap and soft.

Yeah, i understand that you were talking about the hub. I personally havn't had any problems with the threads on the rear hub. I assume that you properly greased them before attaching sprockets and lock rings... Seems to be a fairly common problem that the threads are rubbish. All i'd say is that i hgave been careful with mine and have thusfar had no problems.
(I sound like a Halo spokesman).
