Got this for a fiver

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110432007867&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT#ht_500wt_1182

fixed in the peak district

looks very much like a unipack hub..

it'll cost you another 10 quid to try and get an axle for it.

it looks like a skinny gold thing that goes wide at the ends with some spikey things on each side.

Good luck getting that freewheel and lockring off... Hehehe...

seriosuly... there must be much more than a fiver worth of gold in that.

we should buy loads and melt them down and make gold ingots.

sell those motherfuckers for loads.

you just spend a shitload of money.

I've run out of booze... That's serious...

LMAO that postgoldforcash is such a shitty idea! but yeh send them a hub unicack ftl

buy cheap buy twice. Wank hub with no axle is a bit of a false economy - sorry to burst your bubble!

As Teenslain pointed out you are pretty fucked when it comes to trying to get the sprocket/freewheel off (I should know I've been there and done it). I suggest you put that hub in the bin and forget you ever bought it, you'll just piss money up the wall trying to use it.

You cannot feed in the spokes with freewheel & sprocket in the way. Plus its nearly impossible to remove them without the leverage of a built wheel.

Even if you could get the spokes on, who wants to run a a cheap nasty 24 hole setup as a backwheel?

You only need a chainwhip and lockring tool. It's not that bad.

While you hold the hub in your vice like grip? Trust my it doesn't work, I ended up building a wheel up with old spokes and a rim (had to bend the spokes to get them through the holes then straighten them gain) it's the only way you can effectively hold the hub still.

And one of these eventually...

i don't really know what this thread is about but i am drun-unk so feel like i should type summit...

hello. yup. looks like a crappy hub.

he meant using both the lockring tool and the chainwhip together on the hubs, which does sound doable in my head.

not sure how you'd removed the cog thought.

I'm slightly drunk and watching tv so I may be doing this wrong in my head but a freewheel unscrews counter clockwise so who cares if there's a rim laced on?

Undo the cog first then the freehub.

Oh I think I see what you mean now, but in reality I can't see it working so that both the sprocket and the freewheel are removed.

Also as others have said before, it's a shit hub, is your time (and potential cost of buying new tools, chain whip, lock ring tool, freewheel removing tool) really worth the £5 that the hub cost? Bin it

i'm watching forest gump. good movie.
