I am thinking of buying a KH/Schlumpf hub but wanted to check here to see if anyone wanted to sell there’s. I know a few people have bought them and then haven’t used them too much so if anyone is out there and hasn’t used your KH/schlumpf hub, I’d gladly take it off your hands.
I only want the KH/Schlumpf with ISIS splines, preferably a newer version of one that had the bearings updated.
Thanks, I will PM her and see if she still has it. I am really liking the idea of having a 26" Guni for fast singletrack stuff. I plan on building it up with a KH 26" rim and a Racing Ralph 26" snakebite tire, it should be a great compliment to my large marge set-ups for fast, flat-ish off-road trails
Not throwing in the towel yet. I’m a slow learner and have high hopes of enjoying this thing. I’ll let you know if/when I decide the frustration outweighs the fun. It’s a 26" KH Guni.
C’mon… I know there must be one of you who’d KH/Schlumpf hub (and possibly uni attached to it) is gathering dust. Set your hub free… I promise to take good care of it and ride it often
If you want, I could trade for a Nimbus 36-er set-up (new frame, nightrider rim, ISIS hub, brakes, shadow handlebar, freeride air seat, 125 and 150 venture cranks). I plan on keeping this uni but if it entices someone to sell me their schlumpf, I’d consider letting it go.
I gotta say, when you drop that much on a hub, it makes you question your sanity, but in this case if you really wanna play, you really gotta pay!
I spoke with Silva by phone and he was very positive about the hubs and is working on making the ordering process better. Who knows, maybe he’ll even get “permission” to do repairs
No, I don’t already have one. I have no problem with the cost, it’s the wait I’m worried about, both getting the hub and repairing it if necessary. In my brain, buying one from someone not using theirs is a better option.
That would be ideal. I am keeping my Impulse fully intact in case the hub on my new (being built by Silva as soon as he is done with Terry’s and Ben’s KH26Gs) KH36G should need repair. I have heard the horror stories (long wait) about people shipping hubs overseas for repairs. It would be great if Silva get’s the OK from Florian to perform some minor repairs in California.
Yes… I’m not so hot and bothered for one to spring for retail yet (probably will be by the end of the summer) but if someone wants to sell me there’s for a good price, I’ll probably by it.
