Title: Primo DSG on Eclat Blind?
Post by: tim_sch on December 02, 2015, 10:03:17 AM
Did anyone try to put the Primo Plastic DSG with the cone nut on the Eclat Blind hub? Or could anyone at a shop try it out for me? Thanks guys!

None of the Primo cone nuts will work with the blind. The blind cone nut acts as a seal as well as it seats inside the driver mech, and is quite different in size to any of the cone nuts primo offers.

didnt know the dsg came with special cone nuts now, mine had a big top hat shaper washer that sits on the outside of the cone nut, depending on the frame you sometimes have to squish it in there but that would work with any 9t 14mm hub

Are you 100% sure? Because the cone nut for the Blind that comes with the Eclat Gong hubguard looks pretty similar. (http://www.kunstform.org/images/eclat-Gong-Drive-Side-Hubguard-1.jpg)

It says 14mm or 3/8", so yes, it will.

The Gong is incredibly expensive!
