I don't, anymore. Apollo and James ruined it.

It goes without saying that this is your ride and those are your hubs to do with as you choose but to not ride it when the ground is wet is completely insane! I've ridden mine in rain/puddles/mud/snow and I can still spin the front wheel and make a cup of tea before it stops. Ride them, get them wet, ride them again. If they do get fucked: take them apart, repack them and put them back together...

Hehe, no I will ride it when the ground is wet. I'd just rather get use to how it handles etc in the dry. Which I don't think is a ridiculous request. The toe overlap is (obviously) going to be quite severe and it's a higher GI than I am used to riding brakeless. Just don't want my first outing to be a bad one, that involves alcohol.

Clean the hubs out. Pack them to the brim with Paul grease. Ride until gritty. Rinse. Repeat.

toe overlap? what are you gonna be using it for, polo? if you get toe overlap on *clipless pedals *at anything faster than 5mph, you're doing it wrong.

you just said you have stuff to do, I am confused.

JB isn't home so I just took the bike for a spin round the block

is nice?

it does not fit JB, so imagine how silly spatr looked on it

I'm sure JB will oblige you with a photo of when I tried his pomp.

JB aint going to be a happy bunny

He is lying. He wouldn't have dared. Anyway, definitely proper photos at the weekend and I will be taking it for a spin tonight :-)

What JB doesn't know won't hurt him. How does he think we get to the Post Office while he's at work? Easier than using a bike lock or skidding through my own tyres.

I've got DA7600 hubs on my commuter, been using them all winter. Still smoother than butter!

Mine don't actually spin for that long. A disappointingly short amount of time in fact. Tommmmm said that this could be because there is too much grease. They are sooooo smooth though. Could that be true? Not that I doubt him, of course.

rather the nuts are too tight

That's what she sai...nevermind

impossible to have too much grease. Spinning well under no load means nothing. When you sit on it they will spin perfectly. Just like GXP bottom brackets.

one is smoother than the other though?

I agree, but even my Aerotracks spin for longer and they're a year old and have never had any maintenance work done to them at all.

my 7600s dont spin that long compared to the varno quandos i had, couldnt tell when riding though

Some hub bearings take time to wear in. I've been reading up on Paul (cos that's what I've just bought) and it apparently can take up to 400 miles or so for the bearings to start spinning free. This may or may not be the case with your 7600s.

I mean, are you ever likely to ride this bike 400 miles? ;)
