  2. you are going to need a new wheel.

    the hub is [censored] now.

    replacing it with the same crappy hub would be crazy, as you would break
    it again in no time.

    a suzue hub is a cheap, very strong hub, however, your current cheap rim
    probably is not 36 holes, like the suzue hub.
    'Alex/Suzue' (http://www.unicycle.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=339) is a
    very good investment for a nice price.

    It's (relatively) cheap, and if you ever break this suzue hub, the wheel
    will already line up perfectly for a much stronger splined setup
    (although, going to splined now would be a very good investment)

  3. Hi Bungle,
    I can fit a new hub for you if you like.

    This is a strong one and costs £28

    If you are going to BUC bring the wheel along and I will see what can be
    done.
