Re: getting a muni

I'd guess that they are similar strengths, both are hardened as far as I know. The ChroMoly hubs are definitely stronger than the soft steel ones, and apparently they have a better design for attaching cranks than the traditional square taper ones.> *Splined hub/crank (Onza, KH, Qu-Ax, Profile etc) sets are stronger, > but also heavier, so depends how much hopping or whatever you plan to > do and how strong you are.

Also, the two lengths available are quite good. If you want more splined lengths to choose from there is Profiles.> *On the UK site, despite being stonger, the CrMo hub is cheaper then > the Suzue...

Upgrading a hub has hidden costs that you might not expect. Not only do you have to pay for a new hub (and maybe cranks) but you also have to completely rebuild the wheel. I think it is better to do it right the first time rather than wait for it to break and then upgrade. It's definitely up to you, but go for splines if possible. -- Rowan - _________ [image: http://www.addis-welt.de/smilie/smi...43691690_0.gif] ::*-'Secret Link' ( http://www.outwar.com/page.php?x=2065473)-*:: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Rowan's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/3772 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/31503 |
