re:Best Rear Track Hubs?
In category Tech issues
Written by ChaosDRF

I need to purchase a new rear track/fixed hub for my bike (will be used on urban streets -- not on a velodrome). I am interested in people thoughts about various brands, is there a consensus "best of class"? Are there brands considered by many, that
I should stay away from?

Also, what does anybody know about the Chub Hub (www.chubhub.com), billed by the company as the "Ultimate Fixey Hub". Doe

Seems like there are some good deals on Real cassette hubs (in road and mountain spacing). Does anyone have knowledge or experience of these?

Real hubs, Revolution spokes
In category Tech issues
Written by Ryoma

Any opinions on Real hubs? I saw some for about 80% off, and was wondering if there's some problem with them, or reason why they're so heavily discounted.

I'm also interested in whether the 14/17/14 DT Revolution spokes would be sturdy enough for me (I weigh about 215lbs). I'd be using them with 32-hole
MA2 700c rims.

Thanks for any input!

Adding grease to new hub
In category Tech issues
Written by AJNLO

I have a new Shimano freehub that I'm about to use. Is there a technique for adding grease to the bearings on each side without removing the dust seals? Does the freehub body need to be removed?
