I had some time off work, and used about half of it to visit my folks.
The other half I used riding around here and it was fun. Got some saddle time in in including a five days in a row streak. I got my Epic out a couple of times but noticed my rear wheel feeling weird and it seemed to be getting less and less round. I thought it was just way out of true and made it home. Closer inspection revealed a bit of a structural issue. http://mattb.net/images/misc/hub/img_1516%20(2).jpg http://mattb.net/images/misc/hub/img_1518%20(2).jpg I replaced it with a new one built around a XT hub.

Matt Looks like the problem on those DT hubs a few years back that were produced for Cannondale, but you don't ride a 'dale. Hope you're doing well Matt! -- Craig Brossman, Durango Colorado Owner/Operator of the Pekingnese Ranch. |

It's a Magura hub that they tell me was really a re-badged DT, so maybe it was the same thing. I got three years out of it and rode it pretty hard, especially for light race race stuff. I also didn't pay a lot so I feel like I got my money's worth out if it. I'm just glad I got back home! Hope you're doing well Matt! Thanks, and same for you! Matt |

Matt OE hub? Specialized had a problem with some OE hubs (particularly, not exclusively, on the SX's). Seems that the threading for the freehub body extends one or two thread too deep into the hub shell. Looks like a very similar failure. R Track down Taylor and tell him you want a new wheel. |

Taylor as in TT who used to be at DT? He was gone by the time of the 240 and Onyx. I know where he is. There was that flange problem with the 240s and Onyx on the first run of them and I believe Matt's bike is from right around that time. JD |

Matt My latest JRA was popping spokes on the SLF on the way to the taqueria the other night. It's hell trying to find 305mm spokes at any LBS out here. Maybe if I lived closer to a place like Harris. 27ers are too magical for the posuers out here... JD |
