Need a new set of wheels but on a budget and have been offered a pair custom built for £140.
Nuke Proof Generator hubs with a good selection of rims and spokes.
Are the hubs any good for XC/trail riding?

shameless self promotion! can you make me a singlespeed hub please?

I will say that the OE bearings don't last long and I have had to replace the free hub and pawls but I did buy mine second hand so have no idea how much work they have done although mint when purchased.

very good.
the rear hub isn't as loud/clicky as a hope pro II, it's the same weight (300gramsish), has been totally reliable for 2 years, and was cheaper than the Hope.

Will buy a set then!

I'd budget for new bearings though sharpish if they're anything like mine. The ones in the rear hub lasted 6 month (from brand new) Hotlines sorted me a replacement set at half price, but they've only lasted the same time.

Got a front one and like it lots...very smooth, pretty light and still ok bearings wise 6months in....not as cool as my old Ti axelled, carbon screw on rear original one though

front is great, no complaints here.
rear is fine too. however, after an extended period of un-use it seized up. thought i needed new bearings, which ended up being £33 for the set - would have been a lot cheaper, but ONE of the 5 rear bearings is an odd size non of the bearing suppliers i asked could get. arse.
in the end, it turned out that the axle just needed loosening a bit.
my rear sounds a bit rough at the mo, i could probably do with changing the bearings anyway...Posted 1 year ago # -
Front is still perfect after 2 years, rear needed new bearings after 4 months

I've had a pair of generator hubs for a couple of years now - bearings front and rear still pretty good.
But rear will need replacing soon - anyone know of some instructions on-line for servicing them?

I bought a set after Christmas and the freehub was making worrying noises before the end of January. So far it's slipped properly once and makes those worrying crunching noises frequently but I haven't had chance to get back to the shop with it.
It hasn't failed mind you.
Hopefully be easily sorted with a new freehub body.

harryparabolics,
i took it all apart - was easy enough, just need some allen keys, however, i was unable to remove the bearings... someone said on a previous thread in which i asked, that circlips are used in the hubs, but it wasn't obvious to me.
all my searching online has been fruitless for instructions though.
i imagine they are the same as other hubs, just branded different - may be a case of finding the same design hub and using their instructions, but no idea which hubs to look for.Posted 1 year ago #
