  • sorry late to answer, gizmond you have to use the older PT with a dust cover that goes on with 2 bolts. then you need a special axle and a surly fixxer to replace the freehub body, and some fool (e.g. me) has to re- space the hub to 120mm by means of filing down the ally spacer {which has a magnet glued INTO it} on the non- drive side.
    Simples!

    They do not last forever, and saris will not fix the old hubs anymore, the occasional reverse torque seems to kill them- the torx screws holding the torque tube in the hub (under the batteries) back out under reverse torque. They usually survive a few re-assemblies and I've tried using loctite...

    Still, the old hub are cheapish on eBay as most people now know that they are not supported- what we need is some whizz kid to work out how to fix them.....
    Cheers,
    Scherrit.

    Cheers, Sorry, should have mentioned, you told me all that stuff at Calshot a while back. :-) Just the one hippy pictured, looked like the newer one, was wondering if you are doing a conversion on that.
