Iw as looking at a catalog of stuff, and ran accross a Sun Ringle rear hub....
Here's the description:
12mm through-axle increases stability and stiffness in rear wheels, replaces sloppy movements of some skewered rear hubs on DH bikes, sealed cartridge bearings, same swift 10 degree engagement as our 439 hub for maximizing pedal strokes when you're stuck in today's sticky downhill sections/
Tech Specs:
*
6061 T6 alloy hub body.
* 12mm through-axle.
* Sealed cartridge bearings.
* 32 hole
* 425 grams
* Laser engraved graphics.
* Compatible with Hayes, Shimano, Magura.
* 54.5mm drive side flange diameter, 54.5mm non-Drive side flange diameter.
* 20.5mm drive side center-to-flange diameter.
* 35.5mm non-drive side center-to-flange Diameter.
10 degree engagement...so 36 points? Is this a more durable hub than say a Hope XC or Bulb with 32 points? I don't have the cash for a King, but man, this Hugi hub is killing me with it's 12 points. Long strokes between engagement really make me feel iffy at times. I'm used to a Hope Bulb with it's 32, so this would atleast make me feel more confidant...it's no King, but it's a step up right?
Worth getting or complete crap?
