Advice on buying 48 hole rear

snoops rides those on his pompino, not sure if its 130m spacing or 120mm

Yeah, I saw those. Will they fit in the drop-outs on the RB-1 though?

Its a bmx hub so 110 spaced, will require a bit of dropout squeezing or putting in spacers between the collars and the dropouts.

Bill, hold off on buying right now. We're getting some 48h, fix/fix on rims similar to chukkas in the shop soon, and at a very reasonable price. I'll let you know if they're worth it or not...

I'm interested too! :)

Interested. Keep me updated!!!

bill, the 48h wheels are in.

the brake area on the rim is a tad narrow, but should still work with thin pads. they rrp at £95, we'll do them for £90 for any polo player, and you can use your LHBPA discount for 10% off that.

£81 is a great deal!

Wicked. Save me one, I'll be round tomorrow.

On Goldtec hubs?

I doubt it. In any case, Goldtec's are a little over-engineered for polo, IMO.

nothing is 'over-engineered' for polo.IMO.

rik is.

ja!

On Goldtec hubs?

nope, these are halo prebuilt 48h wheels (halo hubs, spokes and rims)

Danke

Yeah, I just don't think that hubs get as much of a beating as other parts eg rims, tyres, spokes.

I'm not sure about that Bill, maybe I've always been unlucky, but I get through hubs faster now than I ever did doing trials, winter rides, downhill, etc.

Track nuts will be loosened and tightened many more times (thread wear), big crashes cause extreme stress on hub flanges as well as the rims, axels will have forces applied that some are not designed for (fork twists, corner bails, etc), large fixed cogs will thread through soft metal, etc.

Most half-decent hubs will take a beating for one season, but a purpose built hub would outlast them by miles... there's still loads more room for polo-specific development within all bike parts in my opinion.

To date: three threaded hubs, one flange split, one threaded axle, one bent axle, one "twisted" hub (something was very wrong with it even after an axle replacement). Three of these hubs were crappy Suzue numbers, but the others I would have thought would last longer.

on one hubs forever

I guess that I didn't have that MKE hub for long enough for me to be able to assess how durable it was.

Curses.
