yep requires a new hub.

luckily i have a new wheel in the post already so i can get back on the langster in a week or so.

thanks for the link, looks like a good dirty cheap hub. gives me an excuse to build a wheel too.

im hearing tuesday for polo? guess ill be running a suicide setup for that!

Basically, I had a wheel, it was running fine. The sprocket and lockring were on tight.

Then, I got a new sprocket for the wheel and put it on a different bike. The wheel and lockring are the same, just the sprocket is different, it seems to be slightly wider than the old one.

After a few rides the pedals keep slipping and I tighten up the lockring, fixing it. Then just now it slips, I tighten the lockring and it just spins, the hub has been threaded. I don't see why this has happened.

Maybe if the new sprocket was thinner so the lockring didn't reach it I could understand, but its not, its wider.

This is the first time I have changed the lockring or sprocket on this wheel so its not like its old or anything..

Is it just because the hub is rubbish? Even on a shit hub I'd expect it to be able to be changed at least once.

turns out my hub has threaded so i cant ride for a long time.

cool 7 at monument

everyone still up for riding tonight?

7 pm at monument!

Polo was fun! Gonna try and drill that pipe tomorrow. Turns out I can't get the HDPE pipe.

Maybe thursdays ride should be scouting out places to play and looking for building sites with lack security...

up north in newcastle.

cant really justify spending £30 on train tickets down just to get some pipe.

ill keep searching

Forgot to mention I'm not in London.

Any places online where I can get it?

Been searching for a while online and this forum to find something suitable. Tried buying some HDPE off the McMasters site but they no longer ship overseas apparently.

Anyone know anywhere in england where you can buy suitable pipe for mallet heads?

cool, think my mate may come too, any chance of bringing a bit of tube tonight?

i bought some hdpe pipe so can use that if the alu fails

i am also up for tonight, where is peter?!?!

matt did you manage to get any pipe today?

Michael go to recyk'y bike some time, get a cheap frame and bits. Just finished my polo bike and its surprisingly good.

If were playing polo in central park tomoro does everyone know where it is?

If not I can meet anyone at regent centre or elsewhere.

cool 7.30.

yeah postpone polo, im nearly finished my bike and am dying to ride it.

wanna go for a short one at 7.30? could meet somewhere else if its just us? blue house?

matt, check back in about 45 mins, im building my bike, as long as it goes ok i can come out

Ok I should be back in time for polo tomorrow but I'm free monday too. Anyone else?

Will have my polo bike ready if its monday!

i have them.

So do you know if they are cartridge or loose?

Hate to start a topic for this but I've really searched all over the internet for this, e-mailed places that sell them and still haven't gotten an answer.

What kind of bearings do Halo Track Hubs use? They are stated as having 'japanese sealed bearings' but sealed can sometimes mean looseball with a rubber seal.

Someone on here must have some or know someone who has them!?

its 7 now matt! see you there

6.30 at monument then?

Yep polo was a lot of fun despite the partial flooding.

Probs just be meeting at monument again if people are up for a ride. Either 7 or earlier if everyone can as its getting dark.

So, anyone up for riding wed night?

Also I have a spare ski pole if anyone wants it... It hasn't arrived yet but should be ok.

Ha, I saw that bike down whitley bay a few years back! They were trying to get up a hill but failed.

need any help carrying mallets? i didnt manage to get mine finished.

monument at 7 i think, then off to wherever is free/not flooded
