For all the guys talking about animal, Part 2 is out: http://www.epictv.com/media/podcast/past-present-and-future-part-2-%7C-animal-bikes-/603366

It's not overly specific, but I can add to it that all is well again (and it wasn't for about a year) with the company and they are moving forward with restocking old product as well as new stuff.

after a  18 hour day at work and almost killing numerous customers  this has just brought the biggest fucking smile to my face

im lacing a profile ss to a hoffman rim and it says i need 185.7 mm    and 186.2 mm would i be right in thinking that 186mm would be fine and not  have the tops of the spoke come trough the rim?

I want some 14mm with brake mounts.


Was expecting a bit of a front brake resurgence.

as nice as this would be , its just missing the extra few spokes to make it a 48

Not much more than it being everyones favorite obscure rim back in the days. Have you found one? I remember people looking everywhere for them like 10 years ago.

Think double wall and low profile rims that were quite light.

i have indeed , welded? good for brakes?

How old is it? Could be bearings or one of the other issues mentioned. Do you have a third party hub guard on there instead of one of the original collars maybe?

Had the same, bearings died and i had to ditch it (like most parts as of lately).

The bearing units are totally standard and easy to get hold of for a few dollars...


G.

Its probably about 5+ years, got it second hand 3ish years ago  only hubgaurd on its had on are glands? seems like the axle may be squished a little

5 years+ suggests bearings are the likely cause. Knock em out and check them over.


G.

i'll give them a check later , if its not sorted i'll give you a shout , cheers

Are you running the knight guards? I found when I ran them my wheel wobbled. Put the old collars back on and it's been good since

only gaurds ive ever ran are glands...
