Hi everyone,
I was riding on my TREK 1200 a week ago & I heard this really bad sound from the back. The cassette seemed to want to change gear by itself. I took the back wheel to the local bike mechanic and it turns out the hub has collapsed.
As it is a campagnolo hub it can't be fixed locally, so it will have to be taken to a specialist instead. However, I wanted to know whether it would be better to convert to Shimano as I mainly have Shimano parts on the bike (Tiagra Shifters, 105 Rear Mech).
I was thinking of buying a new tiagra hub, fitting that to the rim with a new shimano cassette. Only problem is would a Shimano chain be ok for a SR Suntour Superbe crankset?
If anyone can give me any sort of advice about my situation, it would be most appreciated.
Many thanks, :)
Ben
