To the forum god of hippy and VB,
Apologies if this is repeated somewhere else but I don't know the answer so don't if it's been answered.
Tonight I stripped my goldtec pro hub going down highgate. It's about the 3rd hub I've totalled. I cannot figure out what I'm doing wrong and really and truly need the help and wisdom of the forum.
This time out particularly I paid close attention to what I was doing. If I didn't I would lose the expensive goldtec hubs as I had stripped the other side. I've lost 2 other hubs including a blb (formula) hub on a purpose built wheel...
I would like any advice.
Are there lockrings or cogs or hubs that won't match?
Are there threads that aren't right for eachother?
Is there any special technique in 'locking' them?
I'm at a serious loss here.
Cheers for help in advance
