What did you do to your bike today? (v2)
The Fresh Pinch:
Build up a new frame and added a new backwheel
Benny L with an eclat back wheel.

It's only a front hub that I was looking for off someone else. The only ones that seem to be possible to find would be gsports and that's still pretty difficult. If you had a ratchet or v3 cassette in 48 I'd happily snap it up once I get a bit of money.
Austin Tasseltine:
i dont know why people ever stopped running 48s, oh yes thats right when everyone went all pussy about the weight of their bikes a few years back. glad thats over and done with, i hope 48s start to get popular again so companys start selling them again and theres more choice. i know so many people who are fed up with 36s, especially on the back.
yes, some people are fine with 36s but there are plenty of other people who just trash them
RAILS!:
48h rear is pure win. 36h is alright on the front to be honest.
On a similar wheel-related note...just got hold of a Proper Micro-lite to replace my fucked seventies hub...how does Bikeguide rate these hubs???
Austin Tasseltine:
yeah ive been running a 36 in the front for a couple of years now, only time i had problems was once a few spokes broke, more broke soon after. ive been running my current hub and spokes for like a year, and grinding both sides witout guards and not broken any spokes yet.
both my rear 48s are a bit thrashed though atm, each missing a few spokes but still straight enough. i need to buy some more in 184 to patch them up
