Sad I know but can't help being a bit impressed with my SUPERSTAR front hub!

4 minutes 35 seconds spin time

from as fast as I could spin it to first change in direction.

not bad for £20

I'd suggest that they seals are pish if it spins that long. 😉

what he failed to mention was that he was trying to stop it with a set of their brake pads in.

Ha ha! Just got a mental picture of forumites rushing out to their bikes with stopwatches!

An excellent question, the answer to which I have absolutely no desire to find out! 😆

hub greased = seconds

hub no greased = hours

I bet the line fruit spins when you try to return it when its broke is longer than 5 minutes

OP this may well mean it's really badly sealed, as it's seals that cause drag generally.

Wait til they see some grit and mud then report back to see how good they are!
