Oh my aching hubs...
ok, short back story, I found a set of wheels in the trash one night with a set of pelliser hubs on them. i'm currently cleaning the hubs so that I can have them laced to a new set of rims. Here's the problem, just now while degreasing them I noticed that if I held one flange in one hand and the other flange in the other hand, I can twist them in opposite directions by maybe a millimeter. The flanges are crimped to the axle housing, so it seems that some play has developed.
are these hubs completely trashed or still useable? |

con-sarn it

I agree. I would give them a decent funeral and be grateful you didn't throw good money after bad by paying to have them built up. They were in the trash for a reason.

The 3-piece structure says "not very high quality" anyway... Maybe I'd use the front in a real junk beater bike, if the flange is not loose radially. I'd def. build it myself, though, esp. considering the ludicrous fees they charge over there. But yeah, chuck it.

bye bye hubs...
