Okey dokey, as soon as the spoke card competition finishes I'll sticky this. Don't really want more than 5 stickies and we have 6 already. So I'll remove 2 to add 1.

Roberto:That's what i call a garage sale:

mind you:
This auction is for a time trial bike with a mixed bag of componants.I.D. # 90938 . 700 rear 26" front wheel with sew ups. let the air out of them but they are still usable. I would recomend changing the tires out as the glue is going away. shimano 600 shifters on downtube, Dura ace der. front and rear.TT is 55cm, ST is 57cm- but frame has sloping top tube. For generic sizing, call it a large. bike fits me, rolls perfectly as it has been ridden maybe a total of 100 miles since built. Maroon/burgundy paint with that landshark touch. Frame and fork retail for about $1500- Starting price of only $499- and $45.00 for shipping to 48 states.

I have a set of those aswell. Pretty strange since the are the nicest most hardcore, rarest, and what not hubs ever made....*sigh*
Every one just always fail to mention that the flanges crack when you take them to the road.

what about regular campy record hubs any crumbling happen on those ? anybody stripped a record hub i hear so much about goldtec and formula hubs breaking not so much about campy / dura ace ? i know price will have an effect but are they really that much stronger or do people ride them with more care ?

Where have you heard about Goldtec breaking? I have heard one story of a Goldtec failure (flange cracked) and it was rapidly replaced. A lot of people have used and abused them with no problems.

Campy Recod hubs (high flanges with oval cutouts) are meant to be pretty strong. I think that Campy went right to the limit of taking material out of the flanges of the C-Record hubs and so they're prone to cracking. I think that some of it is down to the quality of the wheelbuild and the way you ride though, as the HF road C-Record hubs were a pretty similar design.

i thought there were a few tales on here about goldtecs ? maybe i am mistaken there are always people chickening out of the highgate hill run as they have just stripped their hubs !! seems a regular get out clause !!

Yes, and they crack aswell. But specially the track hubs. The're only meant for the track basically.

It's an urban legend - of course, they are meant to be used on the track, but so what? Any hub or bike part can break.



And that's what i heard about this guy:

"I have since met him and he is a very heavy guy plus
he builds his own wheels with spokes as tight as
guitar strings so asking for trouble."


A guy i know manage to break his hub at the Calshot track (and it wasn't a C-Rec) while other guy (Dave Marsh) has +20 years old track wheels with no problem... Bike parts are breakable, but each case ia a different case...
