DT 440 front hub
Hi all, I'm looking at buying a DT 440 20mm front hub, but when I spin the
axle, it feels notchy, you can distinctively feel its not smooth. I'm positive my older 440 front hub didn't do this when I got it, but its been a while now since I got it. The people selling it to me are saying that its normal and it will go away, well I'm dubious because I've never had a brand new ball bearing feel like this before. Has anyone else experienced something like this before?? Are new hubs allowed to have some clickiness when you spin them by hand straight out of the box? Thanks for any ideas... Cheers Dre |

Its ok though cause I've told the people selling it to me to stick it. They tried to tell me its normal and the hub will *bed* in. What a load of BS. I have never ever had a *ball* bearing thats needed bedding in. Everyone I have spoken to agrees with what I think and thats new ball bearings shouldn't feel notchy, they dont, so they wont get my business anymore... Cheers Dre |

Exactly, I've sent it back, they wouldn't return the hub to the manufacturer for warrenty so I told them to stick it. I've now got my money back and am looking elsewhere. The thing that annoys me is that no one from DT has replied to my emails, I have emailled 4 different addresses from all around the world without a single response. Thats crap imo. Cheers Dre |
