Re: Uni.com hub

I prefer the UDC hub for the following reasons:

1. It's a little wider than the Suzue hub, which is more important on
larger wheels and for muni.

2. It is very affordable and even comes with the bearings installed.

3. It uses bolts instead of nuts.

I own three UDC hubs right now. Two are built into freestyle unicycles
and one is built into a 26 inch muni wheel. I don't feel that the exta
width is really important on the 20 inch wheels, but it can't hurt.

Out of the three I own, two came with indexed bearings. I'm to lazy to
change them though, so I just use them and I really don't notice it
while riding.

I really love the bolts. With Bicycle Euro cranks, they never seem to
seat onto the tapers very far, so with a Suzue hub, you have very few
threads holding the cranks on. The BE cranks don't seat on any farther
with the UDC hub, but with bolts, you get a lot of threads holding them
on.

Another cool thing that George Barnes just reminded me of the other day
is that you can use the 8mm allen axle bolts and just carry an allen
wrench with you instead of a 14mm socket wrench.

Does this mean that the NImbus 24" Muni is better than the Yuni 24" Muni
because it has a UDC hub and the Yuni has a Suzue hub? If so, why is it
so much cheaper?
Thanks

The Suzue feels no where near as rigid compared to the uni.com one and
with 2 of my suzues the thread 'knackered'. Uni.com definately
