HED3 / HED 3 questions

kinky bastard.

You're being nice again! Hate him! Insult his mother!

oh il stop being good, just let me join in ;)

Can one not open a thread these days without Rocker9455 trying to be a "good and helpful member" or "a valuable member of the community' in it?

Fuck off Rocker and let us all continue to hate on each other with impunity.

This thread is fully daft.

Harry you have been repped.

Oooh...its getting pricey!! Wonder who's in it to win it ;-)

feck you could buy a unicack tarck bike for that...

No you need to buy one of them as well. This is this summer's essential unipack accessory, it seems.

Which sucker is buying that?

So, who got it for the princely sum of £270?

Yeah, fess up!

#270?!

I texted Mumbles and he won't say if he won it or not.

he's winding you up!

who would say when they had gone in to the tune of £270?

by my calculations the average east end fixie enthusiast would need to get about 17 years' use out of that just to pay for it. or to put it another way, a nerve-jangling 23,000 Monmouth St cappuccinos.

and the aerospoke..?

thats very much reality... :0

Thought he might have lost his spoke key and decided against ever having to buy another...

How easy is it? Are skewers universal size for 700c or do I need to find extra details? Where can I buy from, LBS or online?

i got a zipp titanium one which will fit (if its a front wheel)

£15?

I just realised that I omitted the key detail, in that I want to replace the QR with a bolt on skewer. Unless that's what you have?

You just need to find a bolt on (usually allen bolt) skewer for a front if its a front, or a rear if its a rear. If in doubt measure the skewer length you have and use that to find a replacement. They don't come in different diameters or anything, so its relatively easy to get one. I have one on my spinergy. Its nice.

So is that a specialist part or something I can get from Condor?

i have a rear hed 3 on a fixed axle.

jumped on it today and after a few hours i could feel the wheel slip a tiny bit.. kinda like if the cog wasn't tight enough on the lockring, but only about half a cm give each way.. enough for me to initially think it might be a slack chain.

anyway i take the wheel off to check and i can move the cog half a cm each way? like the axle on one side moves but the wheel doesn't,
i then notice a wafer thin piece of metal hanging off, like a thin washer and a small piece pulls away. the wheel rides fine otherwise, but not as solid as its supposed to be.
wheel is pretty much brand new, less than 30 miles on it.

cant see anything on the net regarding similar cases?

anyone got any advice?

thats the piece that came away.

where was this bit of metal taken from? sounds like messed up threads.

Is it a proper track hub or a conversion/adapter? Or post a pic of the hub and where the problem is including the axle?

essbee.. i think its a conversion/adapter.

the metal came from the area between the two dots.

the movement is on the left of the dot - the right side of the dot does not move at all.
