Chalo, I gotta say this is a bum rap, and that singling out Shimano this way is unreasonable and unfair. Leaving cartridge bearing hubs out of the discussion, traditional cup-and-cone hubs have always had non-replaceable cups, with the exception of Campagnolo. And even that is questionable, as I found out when trying to replace the cups on an abused Record hub I*acquired. They physically can be replaced, but the part is unavailable. -- David L.

Capt Bike- Welllll, a couple of years ago I visited Kill Devil Hill, N.C.
where=20 they have a replica of the Wright Flyer. It turned out to contain quite BRBR No doubt but I would have been horrified to learn that any bearings in the aircraft I flew in the USN had loose ball bearings...

Chump- What in aircraft uses loose balls??? Nothing I suspect.
Bingo! Aircraft have to be light, strong, and serviceable, and they must work properly every time they fly. No sane engineer would use cup 'n cone for that. BRBR Loose balls in bicycles work well and have for over a century. The stresses are much different to say the least and no bicycle design would be improved with cart bearings..from hubs to HS to BBs... No sane engineer would have put loose balls into any of the A/C I flew in the USN, but in bikes, they are just fine...

[Chalo Cholina likes cartridge bearlings] Of course you'll have to accept the seal drag that comes with them which isn't present on a cup and cone but maybe you're just a big strong guy and just overpower it. Since a child of five would be hard put to notice it while riding along, it seems likely that it wouldn't be much of an issue. -- David Damerell flcl? |
