    I used to ride this hub, I rate it highly, affordable and parts for maintenance are easily available. only issue I ever had was wearing down the teeth on the driver over the course of about 8/12 months, I used to do about 40kms commuting a day at the time.

      Thats a big commute on a BMX bike! The hub has a good price - quality ratio for sure

    Hey bud. I recent purchased a used Bmx from a buddy of mine. He stopped using it long time ago so I decided to take it off his hands.
    Well he has the colony wasp cassette hub but it has NO SOUND AT ALL! And when I’m riding it and I stop peddling and I the. I engage the peddling it skips and Cassie’s me to almost fall forward before it’s actually starts to peddle.
    Is the hub going bad?
    Do you know what it can be?

    • @stuartgibson
      @stuartgibson  2 роки тому +1

      Sorry to hear that, it could be that there is a large amount of old grease in the driver making the pawls stick. Hence you have little to no engagement when pedalling and no sound when you coast. Take a look in there and maybe clean it!

    Had this hub for 1 year. I've just ordered a tall order drone hub. What are your thoughts on the tall order hub? I will ride it pegless. Any tips, maintenance comments???

    if i get only the colony wasp cassette driver and install it into my hub would it sound the same as the regular hub

    • @stuartgibson
      @stuartgibson  5 років тому +1

      The driver will not fit other brand cassette hubs, so I guess the answer is no.

      @@TheAnnoor that really depends on so many factors like amount of grease inside, spoke tension etc so it's really different per hub. Mine was alright nothing too impressive, I have heard Colony hubs being very loud tho. Bang for the buck if you are not willing to spend Profile money, go for a Colony or Tall Order hub.

  • @bmxriderforlife1234
    @bmxriderforlife1234 2 роки тому +1

    They aren't direct engagement. Neither is the elite. They're high engagement hubs. Direct engagement is like stealth hubs the alienation zenith hubs or the onyx hubs.
    Also wasp hub is less then half the engagement points of the elite. 72 if I'm not mistaken. The teeth on the pawls helps with contact area but don't really helps with better engagement. The ratchet ring inside the hub is what makes the most difference.

    I own 2 of these hubs back wheel.(one RHD super old, LHD bought used this year barely used super quiet still). My RHD one is the one I use and is 5 plus years old from a old buddy who sold it to me for cheap and it still is going strong lol. Im def replacing the insides soon in the next month but im surprised its held up this long on the OG wheel and everything. Btw aftermarket hub guards are better

      Yet almost all front sprockets for BMX are made from aluminium. Except for the weight benefit there is hardly a difference in my opinion.

    Could this fit on a 29” wheel

    • @stuartgibson
      @stuartgibson  5 років тому

      There might be some issues with frame fitment, but if that fits, then I don't see a reason why not. So yes, you can lace this hub to a 36 spoke 29" rim.
