But they may stop at S/A hubs. You should check them out.<br /><br />if you come up short, I've done a lot of hubstripping with S/A hubs, and I now have a Nexus on my new cargo bike. So I'd be happy to help you figure it out, or even do the messy work if you like. I'm sure Somervillan and the BRW crew would be interested in helping.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14434254311488859982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356723782465446786.post-81004812595904939942011-04-29T23:28:52.224-04:002011-04-29T23:28:52.224-04:00Sorry I can't help, but that gritty feeling yo...Sorry I can't help, but that gritty feeling you're describing - I've felt it even in some brand new Shimano hubs, which is why I prefer SA. It would be great if Jim started offering this as a service though, keep us informed.Velouriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00359329171411037482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356723782465446786.post-30481041024977831282011-04-29T21:01:15.601-04:002011-04-29T21:01:15.601-04:00My suggestion:

They're in Seattle, but they may know of someone locally or tell you a decent way to do it. I think they know of what they speak. They'd probably advise Harris if necessary.<br /><br />I've been lucky myself. After three years, my Nexus hub works like new. Sometimes it IS nice to be in Texas...Steve Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13650405341304401203noreply@blogger.com
