Wheel recommendations?
Hey kids, I'm looking to upgrade my rear wheel. Suzue basic hub to a Sun box-section rim. It's heavy but tough, and I haven't had any problems with it, but I need to put a wheel on my old fixie to sell it.
So I'm considering a step up. Suzue ProMax? Miche? Of course I read the thread about Surly hubs. Any other stories or advice? Thanks. |
I used a set of promaxes on my steamroller for about a year. theyre pretty smooth hubs, my only complaint was that I bent 2 rear axles. more me being too enthusiastic in having chain tension than the fault of the hub though. beyond that, I never had problems. never had to adjust the cones and they did fine in rain/sleet/snow. Id definitely use them again if I needed 120's.

what do you mean too enthusiastic about chain tension. too much tension led to bent axles? thanks

kinda, against the wheel to pull the chain tight. Im guessing here as I dont know that is what bent the axle but having bent 2 axles with that hub and being reasonably light and not real abusive I think it had more to do with it than less. |
