Hammer and a punch is always an option. It usually demolishes the prongs making a second removal (with or without the proper tool) not so fun.

Anyone having issues with their V3 hazard hub? My hub has recently started to skip and makes a loud popping noise when it does.

those hubs tend to skip. Someone will chime in and tell you to do proper maintenence.

yeah tear that sucker apart clean it and throw a little grease in it. if it still happens then you have something to worry about

Replace the pawls every now and then. They're like $2 with a new c-clip. Mine's skipping cause the pawls are too worn down.

Problem sorted out! All she needed was a little grease.

I know im being a picky, But..... Im looking at getting Shiv2 forks for my Marv frame but i want the colours to match. On the Fit site they look Flat Black, but in the pictures ive seen of them on bikes they look similar to the Marv frame. Anyone running this combo? Pictures at all? Cheers guys.

Matching different black paints is a PITA... I have no real advice though. Call Fit and ask?

Topsey · « **Reply #249 on:** May 18, 2012, 05:29:39 PM »

I know right! Ive just emailed them & asked. Also emailed the shop i bought the frame from & will most probably be buying the forks from so they can match them up & take a look.

They are flat, well on my friends they are.

Don't get shivs would be my only advice. They look fucking scary and having a part on your bike that you don't trust is fucking shit.

In my local group of riders there has been four cracked pairs of shiv's. I wouldn't trust them

How "bad" is it that on my back axle, none peg side, I have 2 or so threads worth of axle not reaching the end of the bolt? Like its not flush.

Had to take an angle grinder to it too get the previous bolt off as it was threaded to fuck on the end and I ran out of ideas.
