I've just destroyed my 3rd on-one flip flop hub in 7 months
threads stripped yet again, so thats 6 sets of track hub threading ruined.
Also, another chunk to add to the bill, the 3 sprockets that have had their threads filled with the threads from the hub are now unusable. Blurgh
The 4 times i installed the sprocket, 2 we're done by rotafixing and the other 2 were done by cycling up Highgate west hill, so i thought the chances of over tightening we're minimal. I was obviously wrong.
The other two we're done by a mate who works as a bike mechanic, with a chainwhip. Those set of threads went quicker than the ones i did.
So is it shit hubs? or must i be doing something horribly wrong.
