suzue can shove it
So yeah.. 2nd check point into the reload ride yesterday....going down a hill... attempt to put on some back pressure... WOOOOOP! There goes my ****ing cog.
two sidewalks and a large amount of foot dragging I came to a stop.
Ring threads are GONE.

What Suzue hubs are we talking about? Just wondering since I'm thinking of getting me a pair of Suzue ProMax.

yeah... i hear yah... I'm just bummed that I'm bikeless for the moment... i should have replaced the hub once I was no longer a beginner to riding fixed.
I totally heard about them stripping out... totally my own negligence to blame.
No, it was not the cog that stripped out... it was the hub itself.
Yes, it was a junior.

Hahahhhahahah I bought this "city" bike once, a Fuji so not that bad a bike, I'm heading down the hill from my house, and the rear hub bearings came out! Bearings bouncing along with me down the hill! Fortunately the shop I got the bike from was right on my way, I took it in and was all embarassed my rear hub had fallen apart down this hill, and they cheerfully fixed it for me (probably very glad I didn't land on my head or something).

I'm running those suzues on my current bike. I'm poor right now and didn't expect anything but low-end results but they seem fine so far. I don't ride very hard anyway. But ask me again in a week when I eat the back of a bus.

man this kind of thing has happened to me before. That's why everytime I try and build a "beater" I end up spending way to much money and have another bike with high dollar components.
