I have had both.. CK and "Hugi" .. the Hugi is by far a better hub..

I have a 057 and put bontrager xr2 2.35's and have a half inch clearance total.

So i would not go larger than that

Metro detroit has a new trail system started.. only 10 miles for now.. but going to be expanded to about 25 miles..

Very good article. Thanks!

By the way, do you know why my DT Swiss rear hub lost its total silence?
Is it just grease? Do you put it often?

When i rebuilt my 350 hub a year ago i put 70w-90 redline gear lube (probably any high quality gear lube will be fine)

But with grease it is sometimes slows down the engagement  and the teeth will not fully engage and could cause the teeth to strip out.

I have had a king hub a long time ago and i will never get another one.

It loosen up at the worst time and it required special tools. i sent it back to king for review and they found no issues with it.

I got rid of it.

But i had a hugi hub (the same star ratchet and it predated the dt swiss) i beat the crap out of it for several years with no maintenance. the star ratchet finally gave way. I was happy with the number of miles i had on my hugi.

Ugg i broke the main suspension bolt on my 036. Besides going back to china is there a place i can source it locally?

thx

Or wheels mfg

i have a 036 and weigh in at 100kg... i have a fox ctd shock and i have mine set at 275psi (300 is max)

so i am on the upper end of  the PSI..

but i do prefer a bit stiffer suspension setup.

I have a new in box DT Swiss 350 12x142 28 hole straight pull hub for sale...

looking to get 130 for it including shipping (just in the USA, overseas will be a bit more).

Lemme know..

thx

i am really fond of the Bontrager XR2... and it comes in a 2.35 (i measured it and it is right on 2.35...)
