Nov 22, 2002 6:40 AM | | For the disc version of the front hub, I have measurements that I took myself. I cannot assure their accuracy so use at your own discretion. I have succesfully built a decent number of wheels using these numbers and the "SpokeMaster" program to calculate lengths. (Bought 20 of them when they were on blow-out.) I also got a "D" in college algebra, so balance these factors and govern yourself accordingly :-) .
Center-To-Flange Left (Disc): 23mm
Center-To-Flange Right : 34mm
Spoke Circle ("flange") Diameter Left: 58mm
Spoke Circle ("flange") Diameter Right: 54mm
Spoke Hole Diameter: ?
(I'd use 2.5mm, it's either 2.4, 2.5, or 2.6 and 1/10 of a millimeter off ain't gonna kill ya. In fact, the SpokeMaster program, which is used by a zillion shops, doesn't even have an entry for this because it's too trivial to worry about.) |

Nov 22, 2002 9:11 AM | | Hey Mike,
Thanks. Actually, was looking for the non-disc version for an SS, but could use the disc version for a build on my FS, as it's a light hub and I have a little spare cash to burn, so I will keep the specs. I know you used to sell this hub, but I suppose you sold your last stock, since I didn't see it on your site and since Real is now kaput. Would you recommend the front disc hub as a good buy at $40? I was looking at the Hope XC for around $44 as well.
Hope all is well with you. |
| It's a good hub... | slowride
Nov 23, 2002 2:20 PM | | Nothing to really go wrong with it, since it has sealed bearings. I've got 2 of them, a 32 hole disc (laced to a Mavic 519 rim) and a 36 hole disc that's going to be laced up to a 24-inch rim for my play bike. The 32 hole has been going all year with no trouble at all. Haven't even had to true the wheel after the inital build, actually.
However, I noticed that cambria has a Sram 9.0 disc-adaptable hub for $19 with adaptor... That's a killer deal! If I wasn't already swimming in front hubs I'd pick up a few of those. |

Nov 24, 2002 1:09 PM | | Flange diameter is 40mm
Center to flange distance is 34mm
The hubs are "designed to work with 14 or 15 gauge spokes"
I built one up for my SS, and it has been trouble free. Good luck |
