Singlespeed & Fixed Gear - No more *****ing about Suzue Jr...

...Sr., promax. or whatever other kind of hubs Suzue makes if this is true. Found it while I was perusing the veloshop blog today

https://veloshop.wordpress.com/

it's been discussed before, and they're doing one final run of gold-anodized stuff before they shut down

and prepare to sell a kidney if you want in on that game.

or let me know. my shop ordered some. and can prolly get more. which i believe is the case for any EAI dealer.

Wow. Suzue closing? News to me. Wonder what happened.

The owner of the company committed suicide (Tomity posted about it a while back).

I laughed. I feel as though I shouldn't have, but I did.

i did that once....not as bad as you might think
it burns when i pee now

Suzueicide - what you commit if you ride on a Suzue Basic hub

am i the only person who has nno problems with the suzue basics? i have them on a dirt bike now..seem totally fine to me

Good riddance. Jr's = grindy bearing deathtraps.
Promax = fair to middling.

Long live...Quando!

doubled price, so they cost more than DA now? thats crazy!

this has been rumored before, as i recall, but not stated as fact.

suzueppuku!

I rode/messed on mine for a loooong time with no lube other than finely ground rust. No problems. Same set are still on my partner's bike, and she puts about 50-100 miles/week on them.

nope i have had no problems with them. and i have my doubts that everyone who *****es about them have had stripped jr. hubs.

are they going to quit making replacement parts as well?

two years on my Suzue Basics with no problems. what, I'm not a dumbass and used a chainwhip AND and lockring tool? is that all it takes? the way some of you guys paint 'em, it's all luck or all outrage. c'mon, admit it! they were your first threaded hubs, and you screwed up.

ha!

bought a Jr as a backup rear, and it's lasted ages, on a bunch of different bikes. Lube the threads, and make sure it's all tight= No real probs.
Too bad about Suzie tho. Not in the same realm as Phil/DA/Suntour, and spendier than solid basics like IRO and the like. The middle is a bummer place to be if you want to sell stuff.

Suzue Promax NJS hubs are, for all intents and purposes, the exact same hub as Suntour Superbes.

With $5 worth of nice bearings, I doubt you'd be able to tell any difference between a suzue jr and a campy when it was on a bike.

Rightio-- But which ones would you (or anyone) be more inclined to spend $ on?

even Jr's? please say yes.

no. just promax SB & NJS as far as I know

Thats probably generally true, but I have had my surly wheel (first fg wheel) for over 2 years which I definitely abused the hell out of (no tools to speak of, cracked locknuts, etc.), which is still running great, while I had my suzue basic wheel for about 6 months of me taking care of it well with tools when I knew what I was doing and it stripped out. They are pretty much the lowest quality threads of any of the track hubs, regardless of user error.

The one that costs less.

Marry me.

The gold stuff is probably going to be hard to come by... when I asked the nearest EAI dealer about it they said most of the gold run has been spoken for.

Marry me.

You just want half of my bike/bag stash.

I would ride the **** out of some gold jr's...

Fixed?

You're doomed.

Most here have had problems. Some don't.

But, if you read the amount who have had problems (greater than 50%) versus those who don't (lesser than 50%) and you still buy them.. then you have NOTHING TO ***** ABOUT. Except your own stupidity.
