Believe me, the stock langster hub sucks - maybe the cog wasnt tightened well enough on mine. The bottom bracket is also of low quality. However, you should buy another hub so youll have two complete rear wheels instead of a rear wheel and a hub and useless spokes. You cant reuse the spokes as the rims are different depths and such. Besides, the cost of labor and new spokes will be the cost of your new back wheel anyway.
