New glands
MEAT:
About time, the new front/rear design looks tonnes better and the wider hole spacing should be more solid too. Be interested to see what the back side is like, now hubs are more standardized in terms of flange size and spoke count, id imagine there'll be something other than the old pleasure knobbles, to help secure it?...
peggiesmalls:
I hate to say but im leaning towards the new merrit clip on ones
sans.terre:
those boys clean up nicely.
might actually run a pair of the handsome bastards. think they'd hold up in back?
dude...:
dont like how much zip tie is exposed, or the fact that these appear to be designed around zipties to hold them in place int he first place, when the mankey strap or a shoelace has always worked wayyyy better on the older glands
not_much_for_names:
I liked the way the older versions fixing points would evenly line up with the cross over of spokes on 48's, nice, even and simple.
Put them on 36's and it's sort of hit and miss evenly securing it to the spokes.
Really interested to see how these work out and the small, minimal shape looks good and clean!
I'm not street enough to take off my hub guards and way too OCD looking after the wheelset to put them through any form of traumatic experience without protection.
