The Bike Shop / WTP Supreme cassette hub
« on: May 11, 2016, 11:27:17 AM »
Hey guys, I was wondering did any of you got a hold of the new Supreme hub that came out a couple of years back maybe? Not the q-lite but the new supreme. Like the first patch they sold.
Do they still work? Or did any problems occur?
My experience was like this: I bought it and loved it at first. But I had to tighten my chain a few times and then the hub started to clutch. So after a while I understood that the driver lock nut pushed on the driver. There were friction marks so I decided to file the lock nut a bit. It worked untill I had to tighten the rear wheel again. So I think that the lock nut was made from some kind of soft metal that deformed again and again. Finally I filed off the other side of the hub too(cone and a bit of the hubshell), so that there would be no friction on the driver side nor the other side. But yet again the lock nut started pushing it. So finally I just bought the antigram hub, and left the wtp. I ordered it from us to europe and WTP told me to contact local distributor for warranty but finally they never wrote me back so I just left it there.
But Im still wondering that was I the only one, or did someone else had any similar problems.
WTP page now has the 2016 hub but Im afraid to buy a new one again. I used to have qlite so I thought that WTP made another bulletproof hub again.
