Ultimate Shiv TT Custom Build - (Watch this if you have Princeton wheels) 

Yes, it’s true unfortunately

@@ronykuba theres a reason ebay, and marketplaces are filled with so many princeton wheels right now. While theres no proper Zipp or Enve wheels in sight 😁👌🏻

@@hayabusa27 they can be fixed, so it no longer needs to be the case

Not really. Weight doesn’t matter much in a triathlon bike.

@@ronykubafor a uci legal tri bike for both IM and TT races, would you take the shiv or the Cervelo p5? I’m in between the two, but feel the shiv may not be well suited for longer distances

@@antoinetran900 p5

That is extremely unlikely to happen 🙃

After posting it on instagram, I got at least a dozen responses confirming the same issue, despite the fact that it is a super expensive wheelset that not many people use.

@@ronykuba I’m use to rim breaks and quick release and am switching to disk and through axles… bought this same set of wheels. Forgive me I am still confused…. Is the solution to buy and use a different through axle? Or are you actually taking apart the tactic hub and exchanging parts of it? Can you help me understand the solution better thanks

@@thepatternforms859 no, the thru axle and the hub axle are two different things. The thru axle merely fixes the wheel in the frame and it has nothing to do with the forces acting on the bearings. What needs to be exchanged is the hub axle.

@@ronykuba correct me if I am wrong but the issue is with the tactic hub not the wheel?

@@thepatternforms859 as the hubs are literally bonded to the rest of the wheel and these wheels aren’t offered with any other option, it is very much a wheel problem, not a hub problem.

Thanks. We are well aware of the options. With the current schedule, this is what we had capacity for.

Um, how do you know that?

We have the solution now, so it’s an easy fix

@ronykuba awesome great to know.

Cheers 👋

I got my wheel set today, and fortunately I don't have the same issue. Initially the rear wheel wouldn't spin when tightened, which made me really worried, but shortly, I realized it was because of the disk rotor. I adjusted the caliper, and afterwards the wheel spun freely. Can't wait to try them out over the weekend😀

@@jackiewong0806 I think rony is saying that ALL tactic hubs have this issue and not just some?

@@thepatternforms859 they do. It’s a matter of time before they show

@@thepatternforms859 I guess he was saying the opposite. At least mine so far have been working fine, even with the thru axle tightened to 10NM.
