Re: Stripped Miyata hub threads




it's late, i'm tired and have been up for far too long, but all i got
out of that last post was

it takes 15 ft lbs of torque to break john's nuts free...

hahahah.

ps sorry to hear about the hub. i've super strong epoxied my nimbus X
crank to my suzue hub on my muni. i tore the threads out doing trials on
it. (i was dumb and didn't have a trials uni yet). so far that hub has
held up pretty well to some good drops/muni-ing. no more trials though.
the second epoxy job worked much better.
