On some hubs, like the Fuji one I've just done, the bearings really don't want to come out because tolerances are tight and/or they've been there for a long time and a bit of corrosion has made them stick. Heating up the hub makes it a lot easier - about 120 deg C in an oven will make the hub shell expand a lot more than the steel bearing race and relax the fit somewhat. My hub happened to be out of the wheel for a rebuild, but you could heat one up with a hairdryer or heat gun.

Having now given up on Goldtec, I've dismantled the wheel and had a really good look at it. It's caused by galvanic corrosion between the s/s spokes and the alloy shell. On the LHS, the outside spokes have really eaten into the shell, spalling off the black coating, and it was about to fall apart in several places. On the RHS, the oil spatter has protected it so (after wiping off the sludge) there is barely any corrosion, the coating is largely intact, and the spokes haven't made much of an impression on the flange at all.

No-one now makes a 135mm hub with 36 holes and a wide enough chainline for an MTB, so I'm going to have to fit something different or buy a 32h rim and new spokes :-(

Tangential lacing is no guarantee against cracked flanges, unfortunately, although radial lacing is far worse.

If you're going to lace radially without a maker's guarantee, you need a forged hub shell and the maximum amount of metal between the spokes. This means a 28 hole hub is better than a 36 hole hub for this particular purpose, and l/f hubs are better than s/f. I would say you are reasonably safe with a Shimano hub, since these are forged (at least the reasonable quality ones are).

After 3 years, that is. Anyone had any luck? I'd expect a hub shell to last indefinitely, let alone an eighty quid one, and yes, it was spoked x3.

Got a reply from BETD (wow!). No word on the alloy ones, but the stainless steel ones are available for £14, which is a bit steep IMO.

I understand it's a hollow axle, so I'm tempted to just use a skewer.

Couldn''t find this in the search so...does anyone know of a source for the alu "top hat" washers used between the M8 bolts and the frame on a Goldtec rear hub? My bolts ate their way through the aluminium after a few years' worth of fitting and refitting. BETD don't list them.

A question about Q-factor. If you put a straight edge on the back of the chainring, what is the distance between the ring and the back of the pedal eye? Most cranks are about 15-20mm; I need a crank where it's about 25mm. Sugino XD is too narrow as is TA Alize Track (I've measured them both).

It's to avoid hitting the chainstays on an unusual frame

ok, the Brompton ;-)

My work here is done.

You've all got it wrong.

Fashionista fixie == penis extension for Hoxton twats.

Brompton == to ride something that silly, as the Happy Mondays sang, I may be a honky but I'm hung like a donkey.

;-)

Resprayed in flam blue by Bob Jackson and with an extra set of bottle bosses. Sturmey-Archer S3X hub, on which the jury is still out.

Should be OK, Harley Davidson have had bands instead of chains for years, and even you don't put out as much torques as a Harley.

You should produce considerably more torque than a stock Harley, which is in the 100Nm range. My body weight (with shoes etc) on a 165mm crank is about 130Nm and I can probably get that up to over 150Nm by pulling on the bars.

Spa Cycles do the Sugino XD (double or triple) without Sugino logos for £20.

BBB make some which are a fairly close match. They're normally the standard 130mm width; these were 95mm ones out of two 95/130 combo packs (sold for Gripshift) because Bromptons need narrower grips. I flogged the 130mm ones.

Yeah, they use some sort of red threadlock. I remember it being a bugger to shift, even with my home-made 3 foot chainwhip.

Much, much worse than that.

If you knew what this secret project was, you'd be horrified.

Thanks. I've actually managed to find an answer; the Sugino XDs I first tried were the triple forging (from Hubjub) and fouled the cup without even tightening the crankbolt. Then I tried the other XDs from my Inbred. These are the double forging and they fit with clearance, even when the bolt is mullered down hard.

So...I reckon most Sugino single or double cranks are OK.

Why use the 103mm? It weighs 148g (claimed 145g, but I trust my scales). That's half the weight of a UN54!

They are Sugino XD but there are two different types of XD!

One is a triple crank. It gives a chainline of 46-47mm (Goldtec friendly) with a cheapy 107mm UN54 BB and the ring on the inside of the spider. Hubjub sell these.

The other is a double crank. It gives a similar chainline with the ring on the outside of the spider (aesthetically nicer).

I bought a pair of these (in black) from the eBay seller. They took an age to be delivered, but I was very happy with them because they turned out to be the double version, and it looks much better with the ring on the outside.

Another oddity is that the triple will NOT fit a TA 103mm BB. The double will.

Been there. What you have to do is to go back in time and grease the tapers, like Shimano tell you not to do.

It's way lighter than the Sugino 103mm and is JIS taper....BUT....most cranks bottom out on the cups, because they have shallow recesses. TA Alize cranks will fit but are no longer available, at least not that I can find, and the other TA cranks are silly prices. Do any of the Sugino cranks fit, like the Messenger? Is anyone running this BB?

I like it. My hands don't notice whether bars are padded or not, so stuff that wipes clean is good.

Turns out there are two types of Sugino XD. The double type (from eBay) gives a narrower chainline, and is generally more satisfactory, than the triple type sold by Hubjub.

Does anyone know where to get a full range of S3X sprockets in the UK? I need a 14T.

The QR doesn't care whether it's being used on a fixie or a geared bike EXCEPT that the chain tension (which is what causes axle creep) is inversely proportional to the number of teeth on your rear sprocket for a given wheel size. So if you're running 38 x 14 like me, the chain tension is pretty high when climbing, compared to a geared bike where you might have a 25 on the back. With the usual "road bike" 48 x 18, it's much of a muchness.

What I don't know, because I've never tried it, is how easy it is to tension the chain using a QR hub. Probably easier than with bolts or nuts.
