Too obvious?

I have a knackered freehub body on my desk at the moment. Gettin' lots of fondlin'.

Its usually dead bearing races that are my fidgetty thing on my desk when Im working. I clean them with WD40 first .

Read the title and thought of the pro 2 EVO hub on the coffee table.

Yup, rear hubs seem like to way to go

I can't help pushing an old polished XTR rear mech parallelogram back and forth a few times.

Hub clickin'!

Its the cyclists substitute for popping bubble wrap 🙂

Is that bike upside down?

Anyone else try to turn it so slowly they can hear of feel all 4 pawls acting one by one?

I think that Hope hubs have 4 pawls

That hub in the video was dragging. My XT hubs spin much much longer. Are all cartridge bearings that draggy?

New rear mechs...

You wouldn't notice any difference in use though, the forces are so small. FWIW my cross bike's got Formula cartridge hubs and they spin forever

I loved playing with my King hubs before I made the wheels. Silky smooth machining, beautiful engineering on the rear.

I like to take my pedals apart clean them and grease them...i then often go on rides and get annoyed by my unlubed creaky chain 😳
