  1. ๐Ÿ˜• Ok I have a nimbus and at some point in the future I think
    I'll need to get a splined hub but the nimbus frame Bearing cups are
    only 40mm.
    All of the splined hubs I have found have 42mm,
    so is there anyway to fit a splined hub to a nimbus frame.๐Ÿ˜•

  2. I have a Koxx-one hubset in my Yuni frame. If you look at the way the
    bearing caps are made in the Yuni and Nimbus frames they don't wrap
    perfectly around the bearing, really they just kind of sit ontop and
    beneith the bearing, meaning that a difference of only 2 mm won't make
    a difference and should still fit.

  4. torker dx hubs have 40m bearings, if you can get those bearings they
    also go on KH/onza hubs and maybe qu-ax. If the bearings are the right
    size they will last longer.

    Are they splined?

  6. 42mm bearings fit in nimbus 40mm frames, I did it for years on my Muni
    and so have many other people. Infact UDC sells the hoppley, which is a
    nimbus frame with splined hub and 42mm bearings. Don't worry about it
    in the slightest, they might just be slightly tight to fit in.

  13. Alot of US people go for the profiles because they have a lifetime
    warranty on the crank arms and splined section of the hub, however in
    the UK they are very exspensive and the cost of shipping means that the
    warranty is not much use, so they're not popular, infact I've only ever
    seen one set.
