Goldtec Hub Failure

Its mostly bike nerdism.

Yeah, with some engineering nerdism thrown in too :-) I have been idly considering doing some FE modelling of bike components. I'm sure it has either already been done, or isn't financially a viable idea. Which is a shame, although I haven't actually researched it much yet.

I've a set of Shimano Deore's which I no idea have many miles I've put on them. I've moved them from beater to commuter to winter bike etc. and lost track over the years. I almost didnt want to open them up to service them before winter, in case I broke the spell.

Oh good. I just got some Deores for my MTB and I can't be bothered to buy more hubs anytime soon...
