Cool new rear hub design
- Thread starter 6thElement
- Start date
Seems like a great idea. Wonder if they will license the design to get more affordable options out there.
Watched the video, it makes sense and is pretty interesting.
But yeah, price would have to come down or maybe be licensed by another party.
It also looks like the drive ring and everything on the hub can be replaced, which is super cool. Knick a tooth on the drive ring in most hubs and it's toast.
I'd run it.. maybe they want a fatty in canaderp to test or show them off?

32h straight pull is great
FTFY
Bladed... and spoke holder....
Yeah, yeah, still sux.
I also think it's a very interesting design and Peak Torque usually is a trustworthy source with sensible information. The rotor interface thing is a bit strange. I'll check their website if there are any service procedure hints.
Also, straight pull is an issue that's non existent at least to me. Like englertracing mentioned, bladed spokes and no worries...
Also, what Peak Torque didn't mention, is the usage of one fixed and one free float bearing in the two bearing pairs. This should provide even longer bearing life than from the wider stance and stiffer axle alone.

I look forward to the "How do I remove Ultra Black Sealant?"
Then the "I used a whole tube of sealant on my hub and now it won't engage, that's warranty yeah?" Threads, hahaha!
It's the Gorilla Tape of sealants.

No it fuckin isnt
So you have never worked on a motorcycle wheel?
Alllll 32h and 36h straight pull
Its better in every way.
Just use a spoke holder
Interestingly. Yes I have worked on many motorcycle wheels. WTF relevance has a massively heavier massively more powerful two wheed vehicle got to why 2mm straight pull bicycle spokes are nothing but a pain in the arse to build and true in comparison to J bend. Oh and add stupid alloy nipples to the long list of PITA wank ideas for bicycles.
I have a selection of bladed spoke holders and spoke pliers and have to use them far too often. TBF using them at all is far too often making working on unloved wheels even MOAR of a hassle.
Cunts who splaff on about straight pull being superior = kill. List
Cunts who bring motorcycles into their pushbike bullshit = kill. List & piss on the corpse

Funny how people can have such different preferences. All of the MTBs in our fleet have bladed spokes & alloy nipples. All the 28 spoke bikes have straight pull hubs. I haven't seen a 32h straight pull hub.
Definitely buy those bladed spokes. They are more expensive.
I'm with you. Straight pull bladed spokes are the easiest to build with You literally cant lace the wheel wrong no matter how drunk or distracted you are.
Well i find bladed straight pulls attractive
I just default to spoke holders....
And bringing mtb stuff into moto
I always have double butted spokes made for my motorcycles and use dubya spline drive nipples.
Also wheel fanatyk makes some pretty nice aluminum spline nipple.
Since this thread has already gone sideways, does anybody know if the tooling from Pillar got sold off?
I wonder if Sun Ringle will move(have moved?) spoke production to China like their rims?
Edit- Wheelsmith not Pillar.

Yup, thank you.
So, back to this hub design. I like where their head is at. But there’s an even better way to do this same thing imo. If you make the hub shell itself 2 pieces you can put the ratchet or sprage clutch system in between the spoke flanges you can fit an even larger and stronger ratchet system, space your shell to hub carrier bearings evenly, and use a standard disk. Now that I’ve posted this I have a year to patent it any any company who does stole my IP.
Nah it’ll be mad heavy with that off the shelf stuff. Idk how onyx makes their sprag clutch hubs so small and not break, I’ve never seen a single one that same that could take reasonable torque.
