Did you just ShartQ?

I have two Riv frames that are currently sharing one rear wheel and an old silver 135mm hub would be just about a perfect way to address that.

Ya want a 36h rim brake hub Shimano XT, silver, never used? Pay for shipping.

[anon24974279]

Good way to spend a lot of money on a fiddley old thing. Go Shimano over that any day

[Bootus]

Oh, maybe! Hit up my PMs with a model number please when you can?

[Bootus]

They’re a local non-profit that I like to support anyway, so that makes dumb things feel less dumb.

On the scale from very dumb to not dumb, where would buying this old White Ind freehub fall?

I’m not going to defend them on that encounter, sounds like it could have been handled better. I do have a couple anecdotes about them though. I have some old ass WI hubs on my fop bike. I basically found em and decided to restore them if I could. Aloomlum freehub body was absolutely cooked, and I happen to be from Petaluma so I go and ask them if they have replacements still. They didn’t. Then they said leave it with us and we’ll see what we can do. Four hours later they called me and left a m…

[Bootus]

Oh man I love this place. Thanks!

[jame5on]

I have a set on my keep up with a group hardtail from 07 that I have never had to touch. Still going strong but I think it is a shimano free hub body

WI still makes service parts for their old stuff, so you may as well do it.

Pretty sure I have a NIB Dura Ace that’s probably cheaper than $150…

Edit: probably not 32h

Not dumb. I’ve got a bunch of WI hubs of that vintage or earlier, (almost) all laced into one wheel or another.

[Orc]

Sadly, they don’t make the axle ends for the 12mm axled parts (@Bootus’s example is one of the newer 15mm parts unless I’m grossly mistaken). It’s easy to turn a new axle end (I did it using a drill press as an economy lathe) but still sad that I can’t get replacement parts from the source.

[Bootus]

Guessing the Dura Ace isn’t 135mm

Skipped over that part.

It seems pretty fucking cool if you get a matching Schmidt’s Original Nabendynamo

fixed that for your wheelset

Not nib but yes 32h.

To my eternal regret, I sold the coolest 26er rim brake wheelset I ever owned, SON 28 front, WI high flange rear, to Mavic D521.

[Blakey]

You can fit a longer axle and extra spacer with the original cones, spacers and locknuts though. Better dish too

[Bootus]

Oh that’s a good reminder about dish. If nothing else better turns up between now and getting motivation, I should check the used hub bin at their SLC location to see what’s there. In the past they’ve had lots of good condition 105 hubs, maybe a 36H will turn up because that’s what I’d prefer.

Whoa, does anyone know whether it is a coincidence that WI provided rear hubs that closely match two generations of SON shapes?
