Re: [RBW] Free hub body comes loose
Just got off the phone with velocity customer service. What a pleasant experience. They listened to my story then offered me 2 options. I could have a complete wheel exactly like I have or I could have the same wheel with high end hub. The only drawback is the high end hub is black. I chose the better hub. They said I'll have it by Monday. Thumbs up Velocity. Thanks for the suggestion Conway.

Re: [RBW] Free hub body comes loose
Wow, that's terrible. I like their rims for the most part but will think twice about running any of their hubs. Who is the actual OEM, I wonder? Surely Velocity doesn't make those hubs themselves.

Re: [RBW] Free hub body comes loose
Just call them. They answer and will have a solution. They are the only wheels I will but based on my interactions with the staff.

Conway , thanks for the reply. After finally locating a 12mm Allen wrench I attempted to tighten the free hub back on and the attachment bolt broke. It must have cracked and loosened itself up. Now I have half of the bolt trapped inside the hub.

Re: [RBW] Free hub body comes loose
Yep, worst hubs ever. However velocity's customer service is the best I have ever experienced. I went thru two sport hubs in two years. With regular commuting, let's say 100 miles a week, each failed within 8-9 months. Each time the hub came out of adjust and by the time I found the source of the "crepitus clunking" the hubs were roached. At the second replacement they upgraded me too an atb, sealed cartridge type, hub FOC. The best part is that I never had to pack it ship a wheel! FWIW I way 160 and the wheels were on my Sam. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

Hi Peter This is off of a velocity atlas wheel. Came on my Atlantis. Looking at the velocity website the hub looks like the "sport rear hub". Site says hub body # cb07. Don't see any identifying numbers on the part. Attachment bolt is internal to the hub Howard -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

And the brand and model of hub would be? PJW On Sun, Aug 14, 2016 at 7:11 PM, Howard Hatten wrote: > Group help needed. > Lately my shifting has been getting bad.
