Some spindles now are real short or tapered DOWN. Mine are 7mm to 10mm. These are 14mm? Wow. What a joke (todays) spindles are. I dunno I like th old school BMX paradigms. I just couldnt bring myself buy th spindly Mt. Bike pedals with new age teeny bearings or bogus bushings. I think i like the ultra size spindle approach 4 hammering steep country roads with 100lb chicken feed. I want stiff. Spikes: Delete spikes. Lockin should be sandpaper. Everytime. Not that u even need it. Anything sinks in your rubber sole? Yea that is your energy going out thdoor & i mean a LOT of it. Say no2 studs. Say no tiny pedals say no 2thin rat trap surfaces. Would be nice if u measured width length in MM. Ok i am seeing 105 108length online. This looking real good. Most pedals 90 mil length. Hmmm. Weight in grams would be good but who cares if i have FLAT CONCAVE MAX surface & maxed out spindle. Good big round bearings.

Hi! I will be surprized if you will responde but... I have a very bad problem with my clutch v2, I have very severe ghost pedaling issue and when im cruising, after I stop pedaling it makes a click noise, Its not from the chain because it does the same thing even if i rotate the driver by hand. And I have e very severe resistance on the pedals if i tighten my wheel ever slighty, I dissasambled it and cleaned it, NO parts are broken, everything its fine, i regreased it but the problems remained, I dissasembled it 8 times, everytime using a different type of grease but nothing makes it work. Out of anger I sprayed break cleaner trought the hole and all the problems except the clicking noise dissapeared but returned after 4 days of riding, please help me, i had this hub for 2 years, the ghost pedaling came first progresevly worse, but now its unrideable, No parts are broken, it worked 2 years perfectly, the bike com[any were i boughtit from doesent want to help and i am from europe!!!!!!!!! please help!!!

@gsportgeorge 2 жыл бұрын

This sort of thing is usually better by email but let's have a go. I know you say you have tried multiple greases etc, but 9 times out of 10 any problem is down to a lack of grease. Really lard it on. If that really isn't the problem then the next logical step is to ask if anything has changed. Putting anything between the axle and the dropout is nearly always a disaster, so if you've recently added a dive side guard in there it then try taking it back out. Similarly if your dropouts are damaged or bent that can cause problems, ideally try the hub on another bike. Lastly, if none of this is the cause, then it rather stands to reason that something is damaged or broken. Examine everything carefully, maybe you managed to bend the axle (though this is incredibly unusual), maybe there is a crack in the drive side collar or the clutch itself. Is the drive side angular contact bearing OK (and is it in the right way round)? Hope something here helps and please feel free to email me directly with photos etc.

Hello i am just curious. The c clip what it does to the bearing ? Whats its function?

@gsportgeorge 2 жыл бұрын

It's purpose is to fully retain the non drive side bearing. This is what ensures the axial location of the hub on the axle. Without it, it is possible that tricks like tailwhips would slowly drive the hub over towards the driver side. This is all part of letting the driver side bearings "float" axially which saves them from huge axial loads in use.

So…. what I did to remove the drive side, bearing once the driver was already removed was use my park tool RT - 1. It is a headset and bottom bracket cup removal tool. I inserted it into my hub upside down. I used the end that you would typically hit with a hammer to rest against the inner race of the bearing . It fit perfectly inside the inner bearing race and free a few taps on the opposite end, I was able to pop it right out.

So what will have happened is that you've screwed the grub screw all the way through the helical adjuster. If you shake the hub about with the access hole as the lowest point you should be able to retrieve it. Then you just need to line the hole in the shell up with the correct thread hole in the helical adjuster half nearest the drive side and put it back in. Hope this helps.

update: i started taking it apart and my driver started coming out easily by hand, but all of the needles of the driver were sitting loose in the hub, is that not something that is just set in or should it be able to come apart like that?

@gsportgeorge 4 жыл бұрын

Was going to suggest putting it back in your old frame to see if the frame is somehow responsible but sounds like you've moved on from there. The needles should be in a cage. If the cage has broken then it will obviously need a new cage assembly. Is there significant wear or corrosion visible? How long have you had the hub?

Hey George, I’ve been riding the Clutch V2 coaster for about a year and a half and it’s doing great. Very stable and durable. My driver feels rough, and I’d like to take it out to clean the needle bearing, but the collar won’t come off. I read your other comments, so I’m going to try to use penetrating oil. My question is, when you say to tighten the non drive side onto the dropout, do I still need to pull off that large cone nut in order to pull the driveside collar out, or will it come out whilst the non-driveside is bolted down with the cone nut still on? If it comes out without taking off the non-driveside cone nut, please let me know so that I don’t damage my hub trying to take it out. Thanks!

@gsportgeorge 4 жыл бұрын

Hi Dude, Sorry not following your description very well. There are no cone nuts, just push fit collars. All you need to do is pull hard. If it is corroded on there then some penetrating spray is a good start. Bolting the other side of the hub to something to help you pull is one way to go but not really going to help enormously. If you can get the non-drive-side collar off, then you can remove the circlip on the non drive side and this will let you knock the axle out as shown in the video, which will release the drive side collar. Maybe watch the video again to get what I mean. Hope this helps.

@gsportgeorge 4 жыл бұрын

@@pejotaforpres have you taken the circlip off? Sorry if this seems obvious but without having the hub in front of me need to be sure to cover everything. Assuming the circlip is out the axle and non drive side bearing should be able to be driven out the non drive side. You must support the hub in a way that leaves space for the bearing to exit. If your only reason for working on the hub was to grease the driver bearings then you should probably just do that, and then put the driver back. Where does the driver hang up when trying to reinstall? Is it on the first part of the bearing seat trying to go into the drive side bearing? Or do you maybe need to screw it into the clutch lump?

Once you've removed everything else as shown above you can use something like a bit of old broom handle inserted from the non-drive side of the hub and a hammer to drive it out. Just take your time and vary where you hit the bearing to keep it straight on the way out. If it goes over at an angle then knock it back in a bit too straighten then try again. Don't just keep hitting. Hope this helps. Realistically this bearing should never need to be removed as it is strong enough to last the life of the hub. (ie. Indefinitely)
