New KH Hub, defective??
I just recieved a new KH Hub for the muni I am building and right away, the orientation of the crank arms looked kinda "off", like they were not quite at 12 and 6 o'clock. I tried moving them to different positions on the splines and to the other side, but the odd orientation remained. In the attached photos, I illustrated this "gap" by placing both crank arms on the splines at the 12 0'clock position on a flat surface. I think this looks like more than just a slight manufacturing error, I guess I expected more from KH?? Anyone seen this before? What do you think? Should I ask for a replacement hub/crank arms??

definitely ask for a replacement; you payed for a top of the line hub, and to settle for less would be an insult to your intelligence. -- zfreak220 Nimbus ISIS Trials fund: $368.71/$300-ish hopefully ------------------------------------------------------------------------ zfreak220's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/11948 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/63683 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- ** SPEED ** RETENTION ** COMPLETION ** ANONYMITY ** ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

"umm... how about putting them on the right way? try and then keep complaining if necessary" Umm, not complaining, I did try putting them on the right way, but the arms are off that same 1/4" in the correct positions, making me think the hub is defective. Point being that I don't want to invest wheel building time/$$ if the hub is defective. Other thoughts?? -- brycer1968 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ brycer1968's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/11311 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/63683 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- ** SPEED ** RETENTION ** COMPLETION ** ANONYMITY ** ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

could you switch the cranks around and take another picture? see if the left side still sticks up with the cranks changed. then you can see if it's your cranks or your hub that needs to be replaced. -- zfreak220 Nimbus ISIS Trials fund: $368.71/$300-ish hopefully ------------------------------------------------------------------------ zfreak220's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/11948 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/63683 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- ** SPEED ** RETENTION ** COMPLETION ** ANONYMITY ** ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |
