Anyone ever used an exerciser hub?
I have hub from a schwinn exercise bike that has a reverse threaded lock ring. Has anyone ever tried using one of these? It looks like it could work, anyone have a super cheap 28 hole rim so I can try it?

Well, they should be sealed as well as any other Schwinn hub, my Schwinn expert buddy thinks they're pretty much identical to normal hubs. Here are some pictures for those who might be curious.

I just pulled one of these hubs (and lockring and cog) off the scrap heap down at the ol' recycling center. Looks just like the one Kemmer had.
Did you ever try to lace it to a rim?

a good friend of mine made a pretty hilarious fixed bmx with the built exercise wheel..
it worked fine for him.. but it was still a sorta cruddy bike.

Omg! I thought I was the only one who thought of this! Do it! I'm sure it's a good hub. Like they'd make a seperate line and tooling for that hub?
I do use a seatpost off a cheap stationary bike cause it fit and was long enough
