A quick guide to identify your Industry Nine hub. Hydra Support: industrynine.c... Torch Support: industrynine.c... 1/1 Support: industrynine.c... Legacy Support: industrynine.c... #myi9 #industrynine
awesome that y'all are so helpful by sharing this info for us... not many companies are this helpful! I have Torch, but look forward to having Hydra someday!
Now you guys at I9 need to improve the freehub bodies by making them titanium and not aluminum. My Torch rear hub didn't last a year before needing a new freehub body. I didn't replace it because the price was $90 and that was without bearings. I went to another brand instead.
@@Tullebukk75 Can you post a link? I don't know what you're referring to. Is that the thin strips of metal that you slide in along the splines before installing the cassette? I really didn't care for that fix. I got some CLD hubs from White Industries so it's to late now anyway.
Everyone uses alloy for freehub bodies, steel is a bit heavy but its indestructable, titanium freehubs crack if you are not informed. Ask Tune and Extralite
@@richpotatothebestg.m.ovegg2599 I now use White Industries CLD Disc hubs on two bikes for over a year now and not one complaint. I think that's informative enough for my reasoning.
Industry 9 is amazing. I have the 360 BC wheel and just got the classic hub built with spoke X carbon wheels. Industry 9 has the best warranty and nicest staff. Gary Willy and chad always give me good customer service.
Is it possible to make a video on how to remove and service bearings on the old legacy hubs? There's literally no videos online and I've mangled a bearing already on one of my 2 i9 legacy sets.
Stay away from the GRCX 700c 1/1 wheelsets. There are multiple problems with breaking spokes and nipples. They have offered to rebuild my wheels with different spokes. They say “it is a bit of a mystery why these wheels are failing. No mystery to me. Subpar build. Plain and simple. I hope they follow through and fix them. Thanks for reading.
I’m excited to finally get a wheel set with I9 hubs or a complete. I’d be happy with the 1/1 on my gravel bike but I don’t think you offer 142x12 or 100x12 hub sets in that model. My 2 Mtn bikes are being fitted with 27.5 plus wheels this year. One is a fully rigid Seven Sola SS and the other is a Esker Hayduke 1x11 hardtail. So that’s why I want to try 1/1 hubs since I’ll need to get several. Anyway thanks and I’m looking forward to to finally owning some I9 bling.
With both the axle and freehub bodies made of aluminum all these products are for weight weenies. The Shimano FH-TC600 has a steel axle and steel freehub body and weighs 550 grams. The choice is yours!
Hey guys, I noticed this video is four years old. Can we get a new video with the new axles? I just received a brand new set of 300 Enduro wheels and I think the axle is different from my understanding prior 2022 is older generation.
We made a running change to the axle design for increased durability. This slight design change does not affect the service/maintenance procedures of the wheels.
Amo 😍😍Legacy lo tengo en mi antigua bebé trek full Ex7 (((Wheels industry nine ))) morados con negro los 😍😍👍🏻😁🥇🥇🥇🏆🏆🏆buen video y gracias ocupava esa descripción detallada en un par de meses completo para unos Wheels nuevos para mi Evil gracias por sus productos los adoro 👍🏻😁✌
Please I want one for a BMX but I go to your site and I havent a clue what to buy looking for something for a Street Trials bike, where are your dealers in the UK near London? doesnt list them on the site either? or here?
690POE seems revolutionary and all but am quite disappointed the hydra sounds so much more muted compared to the torch. Was hoping for a unique loud chime with those 690 POE when they were announced. The loud metallic rattle was what made the torch stand out. Would have been a straight up purchase if u guys gave it a lil more character.
We hear ya! Hydra definitely still has some noise and if you want to make it louder, apply some Dumonde Tech Freehub Oil and it will have that distinct i9 sound to it.
With hub noise, it's not the amount of engagement that dictates how loud they sound. It's the number of simultaneous engagement and spring tension on the pawls where the sound level increases. i.e Hope hub with 4 pawls engaging altogether vs Hydra where one pawl distinctly engages.
@Eli Hume I have ridden Onyx, currently on a set of high engagement project 321s. There is NO BENEFIT to these new EVEN HIGHER engagement hubs...I will still kick anyones ass in a race on Shimano Deore hubs on the gnarliest most technical climb. Sure more engagement helps but their is a critical point where more engagement has absolutely NO BENEFIT and these hubs are in that category. Over 72 is a waste and a Gimmick. Smoke and Mirrors...another way for the bicycle industry and coprorate America to steal consumer's money. Certainly not worth a 1c to upgrade. Let me guess you're a sponsored rider or getting paid by these guys?
@Eli Hume plenty of suckers to keep these companies in business. Spending $1000s for no additional value. Goodluck with your I9s...hope those little teeth on the ring gear don't strip out.
@@greatdimitri1049 Hey man - glad you found a hub that works for you. Onyx and Project 321 both make excellent products as well. While the increased engagement is a nice plus, I hear ya - 90% of riders won't notice a different between 90 POE and 690 POE. However, the true inspiration for Hydra wasn't necessarily the increased engagement, but an improved pawl design that is more durable and increases bearing, freehub and axle life. Hopefully we've done that and riders won't have to service their hubs as often as they did with Torch.
