I've stripped a coupla hubs. Once in traffic when I tried to accelerate off a red light.......almost went over the bars.I junked that hub.Twice I stripped lockring threads getting too aggro putting the lockring on ( and possibly not being careful w/ initial threading of it). In one of these instances there was enough meat left on 'em to get a lockring back on w/ red loctite ( I've had no probs using the red stuff and being able to remove if I wish to) and a front brake for insurance. I am still riding that hub 8 months later. I have since stopped using Suzue and went to a Phil rear since it was only like 25 bucks more than a Promax at the shop I stopped at. And yeah, I was teasing about these forum threads being long and redundant, yet now I find myself bumping this one again.
Karstens, I'd much rather be a victim of hit 'n' run on these boards than on the street, so thanks . Don't hate me for my freedom.
