rear hub suggestions for Cannondale touring bike? - 2004/06/17 14:47I've got a 1999 Cannondale T800 touring bike and I need to build a new wheel for it. I use it mainly for commuting and getting around town, almost never for more than 25 miles in a day and usually for much less. I want to keep the possibility of loaded touring open in the future. I think I want to use the Mavic T520 rim, but I'm not sure about hubs. I can't even figure out what the width is of the rear dropout (why didn't they include that information in the owner's manual?).
So can anyone recommend a hub? The requirements are: 36 holes, 8/9 speed, under $100.

Bingo!
Aircraft have to be light, strong, and serviceable, and they must work properly every time they fly. No sane engineer would use cup 'n cone for that. >>
Loose balls in bicycles work well and have for over a century. The stresses are much different to say the least and no bicycle design would be improved with cart bearings..from hubs to HS to BBs...
No sane engineer would have put loose balls into any of the A/C I flew in the USN, but in bikes, they are just fine...

No doubt but I would have been horrified to learn that any bearings in the aircraft I flew in the USN had loose ball bearings...

Holy Semantics batman!!!
Like a gun 'cartridge', which includes the primer, powder, case and projectile, a cartridge bearing has all the 'stuff', bearings, races, in a unit. In guns, a muzzle loader doesn't use a 'cartridge', but a 'rifle ball', like shimano hubs use ball bearings.

re:rear hub suggestions for Cannondale touring bike? - 2004/06/19 21:33chump-<< A ball bearing is an inner race, and outer race and a complement of balls. Are you suggesting that Shimano hubs allow you to replace all these things? >>
No a ball bearing is a ...ball bearing...the other stuff are cones and cups. You said-"<< Cheesy, fitted with non-replaceable bearings, >>
They have replaceable bearings, not cups, replaceable cones.
<< Hubs with non-replaceable outer races are ridiculous, like cranks with non-replaceable chainrings-- >>
'Outer races' are called 'cones' and these are replaceable also...
