@Frorideism 10 месяцев назад

Boys: Before getting a super high engagement hub - just a PSA here: It will most likely give you more pedal kickback. Since there's less play from moving the pedals to actually engaging the hub. Not saying it's good or bad, but no wheel companies ever mention it. 😘

@feedbackzaloop 10 месяцев назад

Must say, high POE is a genius idea from production POV! Applying more strickt requirments to pawl shape and placement may bring the individual cost of pawls and a ratchet ring up to ten times compared to low POE systems, but will effect the overall cost under ten percent. But the performance boost justifies even higher price and additional spendings, like colored spokes with non-standard nipples. *THIS* is how you apply _Know_-_How_ to be ahead of competition

Love that they’re made right here in the USA. However, there’s definitely a price that comes with domestic manufacturing and thorough hand assembled perfection. I’d love to throw some Industry Nine furniture on my ride but their Hydra hub and a set of spokes alone would be more than I initially paid for Trek Marlin 6 which I’ve already more than doubled the price of in aftermarket parts. Beautifully machined parts and meticulously run operation though. Kudos to Industry Nine!

@nicolashuffman4312 10 месяцев назад

These are great hubs. We have a couple sets. I will say though, I can't tell much of a difference between 690 points of engagement and other low POE hubs. Regardless, they are durable and hold up to Clydesdale racing without issue. Also, i9 hubs have the widest flange spacing of any hubs I have found, which leads to a laterally stiffer wheel.

@Mikesonbikes 10 месяцев назад

I love I9!! They give me their blem hubs to make art. I wish my glass spoke wheel was there when you filmed there. I9 freakin' rules!

@ThunderStruckMTB 10 месяцев назад

As a USA dude I support buying local and have owned 2 separate I9 wheelsets but had nothing but problems with both. Horrible bearings and a broken rear axle were the 2 main issues, but there were others. I know that lots of riders are super stoked with their I9s, but 2 sets were more than enough for me.

@simonm1447 10 месяцев назад

The bearings are industrial bearings and no cup and cone. I don't have an I9 hub but you could just use Timken or SKF bearings instead of the stock ones. Nobody can make better bearings than the industry leaders from the US, Europe or Japan

@leoelkins3664 9 месяцев назад

It isn't the quality of the bearings - these hubs would destroy any bearings because of terrible design. Single pawl engagement ruins main bearing and freehub body bearings (and also breaks axles)

@simonm1447 9 месяцев назад

@@leoelkins3664 I overhauled a Tourney freehub body 2 days ago. It has 2 engagements, but they are not 180° on the other side, so there's also some force on the bearings of the freehub body. However this hub is constructed in a way the cup and cone bearings of the wheel itself are independently from the bearings of the freehub body, and the freehub body dont put any extra stress on the main bearings. The main bearings run in the inner part of the freehub body, while the ratchet mechanism is engaging into the outer part of the freehub body which is made of steel too.

@simonm1447 9 месяцев назад

@@robertmcfadyen9156 in this case you used proper axles. My Scott Aspect has Tourney hubs from stock, and they worked surprisingly well until I rode some gnarlier trails the last time. I discovered a broken front axle (it's QR) last week. It's just a 9 mm axle with a 5 mm hole in it and the effective diameter is even less since the 9 mm are the outer diameter of the thread. I could repair it with a new inner axle, but I will switch to XT hubs in medium term which have a much thicker axle inside the hub

@scottmcmillan3655 10 месяцев назад

I love I9 wheels but I don't like aluminum spokes. I have seen catastrophic failures where spokes pulled out from the rim when a stick went through the wheel. I would much rather replace broken steel spokes. I9 makes a straight pull hub with steel spokes for Ibis, I just wish they offered one for the open market.

@simonm1447 10 месяцев назад

I assume the advantage of aluminium spokes for them is they can make them with thicker material without getting too much weight. A normal steel spoke has a smaller thread, this thread may be too small to screw it into an aluminium body. Aluminum is not like steel if you have threads in it, they can get pulled out. A steel spoke made of a thicker material however will weigh more

@chadbarbaro 10 месяцев назад

steel spokes also perform better as the damping effect is increased.

They sell hubs for center lock rotors if that's what you are after. I prefer them because it allows the flanges to be a little wider, so the wheel is laterally stiffer.
