I’ve lost patience with the maintenance / seeming to be made of cheese elements of the original Roval rear wheel on my Camber. It’s had a few “that’s a **** nuisance” issues and now the freehub bit is slipping at certain points with a quiet but offensive clicking. I don’t want to be fiddling with it, I want it working.
I’ve therefore got a “need” for a 142×12 x 29″ rear wheel OR a 28h hub someone can put the Roval rim onto.
Key features:
Well sealed with decent bearings i.e. low maintenance
Capable of taking a tyre from 2.0″ to 2.3″ and I’m prepared to sacrifice a little rim width to get a decent shape on a winter mud tyre
User servicable without spendy special tools (e.g. the £60 drive ring remover that this hub takes)
I’m looking at Hope / Shimano XT level of quality rather than bargain bin or very bling.
Off the peg from CRC and the LBS website seems to be limited as this “standard” is clearly now out of **** date!
Suggestions?
thanks
