Hub help

Can you reccomend a good back hub for me. I do dirt jumping and my hub is totally messed up. When I ride, my tire moves side to side. After a while, it starts rubbing against my brakes and my frame. It's so annoying to ride because for one you slip alot and because it's rubbing against everything so it's super hard to pedal. I tried to fix it and I took it to the bike shop many times but it always just gets messed up again.

Find another shop.

Im assuming that your rim is messed up too, so you should just get a new back wheel...

Look into Odyssey Cassettes (sold as a hub and wheel)
and or
Profile hubs (youll have to build a custom wheel for those, and there a little more $$)

My rim is barely bent at all. I think I messed it up using chain tensioners though. I tightened them up too much.

I think he means his wheel is shifting positions in his dropouts.take off the chain tensioners and grab a tire iron and tighten. if that doesn't work get new nuts

I tried tightening them like crazy but my tire still moved from side to side. It's not the bolts.

a wheel doesnt make u fast,
speed comes from:
1)gearing
2)crankarm length
3)i guess wheel SIZE would make a bit of a difference, like you couldnt go as fast with a 16" rear wheel
4)it mainly depends on how fast the rider can peddle
