Its all about the ti baby

Well right now I have a Hope Pro2 hub and its so noisy it scares wildlife from at least 2 miles away. Plus its bugging me like mad. Way too noisy. I had a CK SS hub a few years back and really liked it.
So what are my other choices keeping in mind the noise factor? |

I haven't needed to adjust the hub in many years. Just a couple weeks ago, I did its first overhaul. I was waiting to see how long it would go, and so I'm impressed that it went as long as it did (the freewheel started to get really tight when backpedalling). The overhaul procedure was fairly simple, too (my first time taking a CK hub apart). There's not another SS hub I would remotely consider over a CK hub.

I have three sets of wheels with Hadley hubs (actually four sets if you count a special production run of BMX hubs that Hadley built for another company). Although the hubs perform very well, I still prefer the King hubs for my SS (partially because of the Fun Bolts).

I forgot that Hadley has the bolt-on setup (although it looks rather Home Depotish from what I remember). I don't think I've seen it on Hadley's website lately.

Found this one at Tree Fort Bikes (couldn't link directly to the hub's page) for $285--almost reasonable when compared to the CK. ![]()

[quote=Ladd Jasper;294581]Posted a pic for ya. Been considering the Hadley myself, as they've performed very well on my geared bikes and I expect the ss to be no exception.

The bolts on that hub look different than the ones I've previously seen. They do look much nicer.
Now if only they can make them as light as the CK hubs (usually about 50 grams difference).

I have a buddy selling a Hadley SS bolt-on hub laced to a Mavic 819 on MTBR if you're interested in a whole wheel.
