Back to the rear hub. Here's where i left off
[ATTACH=full]20729[/ATTACH]
Options:
1. Smooth out the indents and get on with life.
Pros: - Cheap and easy
Cons: -May affect speedo drive
- Looks like crap. Although it's hidden beneath the speedo drive, i know it's there
- Can't use upgraded bearing w/o machining
2. Replace the hub
Pros: - Gets it back to a condition before i butchered it
Cons: - Parts NLA (may not be an option if there are no used ones to be had)
- More costly (if i can find a used one)
- Same issue with the bearing
3. Don Pender MkIII hub (if available)
Pros: - Better cush drive
- Comes with upgraded bearing
Cons: - Not cheap
- Possible issue with replacing cush rubbers and sprocket which are both wear items
- Compatibility with drum brake?
Adding complexity to the above options are options on the final drive:
A. Stock 530 pitch
Pros: - Cheap
- Lighter
Cons: - More Maintenance
- Messy
B. 520 X-ring
Pros: - Less Maintenance
Cons: - Cost
- Can't go with Option 3 above (or at least i think)
Thoughts? I'm on the fence, but leaning to 3.A.
