[RBW] Servicing Silver hubs?

[Jeremy Till]

One follow up (sorry, working from memory): there may also be a small seal 
between the freehub body and the pawls. It can be gently pried up to access the 
pawls and pressed back into place before reassembly.

I think joe is right. As soon as you take possession it’s gonna lose a little 
value, unfortunately, but especially on a newer model riv like this. Is 
shipping part of the price? If so, I’d say that more clearly. If not, I’d 
recommend you make it so, or knock some off the price, or add some extras in. 
I’d bet there are a number of people who would just need a small financial 
nudge to feel like they are getting more of a “deal”

[Joe Bernard]

It's priced fairly as an as-new frame, but people still have a psychological 
barrier go get through because it's not directly from Riv. It'll sell at that 
price eventually, but if you just want it gone I'd drop the price a couple 
hundred.

[RBW] Leather Saddle Care

[John McBurney]

I have several leather saddles on various bikes. For example I have a
vintage brooks B17 Pro, and a vintage a Ideale model 90. I try to take
really good care of them. I have covers for rain and I use Obenaufs LP. As
well as occasional Proofhide or Martexin Wax. These are older saddles. No
idea how old the brooks is but suspect the Ideale is over 40.

So even though they never get rained on this time of year the get really
wet from sweat from my shorts on long hot rides. I’m noticing it’s harder
to maintain the integrity of the surface of the saddle, the shiny outer
layer. These are really becoming well adapted to my anatomy but I don’t
want to ruin them.

Any ideas?

[RBW] Servicing Silver hubs?

[Jeremy Till]

I have one of the prototype Silver hubs and I'm pretty sure the production ones 
have the same internals. I've had mine open a few times and it's pretty 
straightforward. You don't even necessarily have to remove the cassette.

-The freehub body is held in place by the drive side axle end cap, which 
threads onto the axle.
-You can remove either end cap by inserting 5mm allen wrenches into both ends 
of the axle and holding one steady while turning the other counter clockwise. 
However, it's kind of a crapshoot which end cap loosens first. If the non drive 
starts turning, unscrew that one and remove it. The axle itself then has a 
fitting for a 10mm allen which can be used to hold the axle while you unscrew 
the other end cap.
-Once you have removed the end cap, you can slide the freehub body straight off 
the axle. Make sure you have the wheel on its side with the drive side up so 
you don't lose any parts. The axle is captured between the bearings in the main 
hub shell and will stay in place.
-This will expose the pawl mechanism. The hubs are somewhat unique in that the 
drive ring is on the freehub body and the pawls are contained in the hub shell 
-usually it's the other way round. Take a minute or two to grok how the pawls 
and springs go together, and then you can slide each pawl and spring out to 
clean and lube them. If you want to quiet things down you might put a little 
lube on the drive ring where the pawls run over it (see my commentary below).
-Reassemble everything just as it came apart. IIRC there's a spacer that goes 
on the axle between the freehub body and hub shell, make sure that's there. If 
the freehub body doesn't drop right into place when you slide it onto the axle, 
slowly rotate counter clockwise until it drops down into the pawls.
-thread the axle ends back on and tighten them against each other. The bearings 
aren't adjustable so it's just a matter of threading them on until they stop 
and then torquing them appropriately. If the axle isn't turning smoothly after 
the end caps go on then something is assembled wrong.

Commentary: my silver hub had occasional skipping issues under high pedaling 
loads (think steep single track climbs). The first time I opened it i 
discovered that it was missing one of the pawls springs. I've been unable to 
source replacements, but was able to fabricate my own pawl spring that's been 
working well. However, in my various attempts at addressing the skipping issue 
it was my experience that lubricating the pawl/drive ring interface exacerbated 
the issue, even with all 6 pawls and springs in place. My best results have 
been lightly lubing each pawl so that it rotates freely in its seat in the hub 
shell but leaving its interface with the drive ring dry. Yes, the hub is on the 
loud side but its engagement works well. YMMV.

[RBW] Servicing Silver hubs?

['Eric Myers' via RBW Owners Bunch]

Has any one serviced one of Rivendell's Silver free hubs?  I want to grease 
the pawls to quiet things down back there (I have Phil Tenacious Oil for 
this), but the only free hub I've worked on is a VO, which doesn't need any 
tools.  I've figured out that the Silver hubs were made by KT, but they 
seem to make different designs.  Do I need any special tools, other than to 
remove the cassette?  Or is there something I should be watching out for so 
I don't muck things up?

Thanks for any help or advice,
Eric
