Bass is there a reason you are bringing so much negative energy here? FYI hubs do not come from a factory built onto a wheel. They come packed in boxes in lots of 25 or 50 pieces. I currently have between 200-300 hubs ( not on wheels ) in boxes. Over the years I have found that most hubs are tight from the factory. Are you arguing this point with me?

Additionally I have hired bike techs that have worked at Performance, REI, Bike Line and many other bike shops.....FYI I have hired people that VERY VERY knowledgeable in the bike biz! None of them checked hubs during new bike build up at their previous places of employment. Please take a look on youtube and check some videos on new bike setup ( none reference hub adjustment ). Some examples are at

Now question for you Mr. Bass.... Do you check hub adjustment on all new builds? What is that policy at your shop? How many co-workers have done that at their previous places of employment.


Thanks,
