|   Disk Rear Wheel: Would it Be Correct to Say.... | Dirt Pilot
Jun 6, 2002 2:17 PM | | ...That dish is reduced because the spoke hole flange of the hub is moved inward from that of a conventional hub? Hmmmmm... |
| Yes | shiggy
Jun 6, 2002 2:22 PM | | Even though the flanges are closer together it should build a stronger wheel because the spoke tension is more balanced. |
| Yet another reason... | Dirt Pilot
Jun 6, 2002 4:47 PM | | ...For me to upgrade to disks (not that I really needed another one). |
| Just do it! | slowride
Jun 7, 2002 6:30 AM | | We all know that you'll be riding those obstacles at Challenge like crazy if you have some good brakes... :)
PS. I highly recommend the Velocity rims... I love mine! |
| Soon enough I suppose.... | Dirt Pilot
Jun 7, 2002 7:40 AM | | ...Cant get any OT 'round here to save my life! Grr.
Definitly gonna be Velocities, not sure which ones though.
Where ya gonna ride the weekend? Ya think Palos will be dry enough by Sunday?
I'l be riding Thorton Sat. Morn, c'mon down and join us if you like. Email me for directions. |
| Not sure... | slowride
Jun 7, 2002 11:34 AM | | I'm moving next weekend, so I probably won't be riding much.
Saturday morning I have to pick out carpet... so I won't be able to get out until the afternoon at least.
It's gonna be sketchy at Palos. I might try anyway though... |
| If that is the case | Seb
Jun 7, 2002 8:19 AM | | Then why aren't all rear hubs built with the left flange a few cm's in from the locknut, in order to make spoke tension more even? There's no need to have that disk mount there, they could just put the flange wherever they want. |
