pantour hubs

dbernstein29 said:

I am thinking about changing/upgrading my wheels to pantour hubs front regular and rear disc. I
ride a t-bone 26/20. I have read alot of good comments about the pantour hubs but are there
problems with the hubs of which I should be aware.

Thanks in advance for your comments

Me too. Has anyone used them with Avid mech. disk brakes? Their web site shows them coming with
their own disks.

Drew Dual 26 T-Bone.

Got one on my Brompton and seems an extreamly good product so far, makes a 16" wheel feel like a
wide 700c.

Sorry for straying off topic but I thought the Brompton had a non-standard front dropout spacing.
Does Pantour make a narrow version of their hub, or did you replace the fork?

I like the Pantour front hub on my Ti Rush very much. I have Ultegra caliper brakes. No problems.

I have a first generation F. Pantour Hub. It has 10K on it. Just changed the polymer insert
reciently. It has worked fine. The folks at Pantour are responsive and have served the recumbent
market well. I was more interested in its stabiizing effect for fast downhills on SWB 406 F. wheeled
bikes. It sure made the Rocket, V-REX and VR-40 handle well at 40 mph+ DH. I have since sold these
bikes, with the V-REX going (tears) yesterday to a Lady from Middle River, MD.

Go for it.

I've been very happy with my front hub. I have heard one anecdotal comment that water can get inside
the hub by sneaking in under the side plates, from a guy who rides his bike in all kinds of weather
in NYC. I can see how this might be possible, but I've not experienced this and have not heard of
anyone else experiencing it either. But then, I don't ride in the rain.

I have no experience with the rear hub.

My experience with my front Pantour hub is exactly the same as Andrew's.
