Wethepeople Supreme Cassette Hub + Sound

[@bikelifeyo]

Nice video! How you like the hub so far and how is it holding up? Thank you for your time

[@stuartgibson]

Good of you to ask! Honestly I only lasted 3 months with the hub for 2 reasons. 1: I think there are not enough points of engagement on the driver so at times I couldn’t use pedal pressure for tricks the way I wanted and 2: the driver-side locknut broke in half twice in 3 months so I didn’t find it reliable enough to travel around with it. Apparently that is a common issue that will be addressed in the future..

[@bikelifeyo]

Oh bummer! I was thinking about getting it. I have the original supreme hub that I've had for like 10 years and it's still goin. Figured the new one would be a good idea to get and it looked like it was very reliable. Thank you for the info I really appreciate it

@@stuartgibson thanks for the heads up

[@ChiTownGuerrilla]

Wow this thing is sweet! Eclat just dropped a new innovative hub.

[@stuartgibson]

Yes I am really curious to get my hands on one of those!

[@ChiTownGuerrilla]

@@stuartgibson Yeah I hope you do! Just subscribed. I have an old Odyssey hazard lite wheel on my bike with the V3, it works but I need LSD. Looking at the Eclat or WTP.

[@stuartgibson]

I was talking to a designer from Eclat last week, from what he told me I’d go for the new Eclat seismic hub if I were you

[@ChiTownGuerrilla]

@@stuartgibson Ok awesome! I seen some of your comments about the WTP hub, I think they screwed up with the female axle, I only trust that system in the front. Eclat has male though!👌

[@stuartgibson]

@@ChiTownGuerrilla they addressed the issues I and others had with the hub, it was a first production batch problem. The WTP Supreme hub is actually very popular now! The Eclat driver system just sounds bullet proof and I am also a fan a male axles in the back!

[@mikefrozt]

good review brother!

[@stuartgibson]

Thank you!

[@LucasWilliamsBMX]

That switch drive system is cool

[@stuartgibson]

I agree! It works well, but I’d have loved it to have more points of engagement

[@dennisd4452]

I know it's been five years. Though are you still riding? Wondering if you tried the Arrow from We the People.

[@stuartgibson]

I am definitely still riding. Haven't tried the Arrow unfortunately no

[@86foxbod]

Did you have any problems with the driver clicking while pedaling? Whenever I put pressure on pedals it clicks like something is loose.

[@stuartgibson]

kody DeCarlo no sir I did not! But it is common to hear a clicking noise when putting an older chain on a new driver, are you sure it’s not that?

[@86foxbod]

@@stuartgibson its brand new, a week old. It came with the bike I bought. "WTP Envy"

Compre ese casset pero no sé dodne comprar los protectores para los pegs 😥

[@iletyouwin1]

Do you think I can run diffrent hub gaurds on it besides wtp supreme gaurds PLEASE RESOND

[@stuartgibson]

master Thomas maybe BSD has a hubguard that’ll fit the Supreme hub?

[@Shamarihindsbmx]

Wow!!!

[@anton_arn]

I'm currently thinking about buying the same hub but there's no actual review "after six months of use and abuse" you promised. I'm quite worried about the bushing that sits there instead of a bearing. How did that one held up? Could you please briefly summarize your experience with the hub? Really liked this review, though! :)

[@stuartgibson]

Hi Anton! I never made a proper review video because I didn't last more then 3 months with the hub. The reason why is due to the driver-side locknut, I broke it in half twice. The problem was aware with Wethepeople and they have since addressed it. Apparently the part was heat-treated too much causing it to become brittle. As I was just about to go on a trip I decided to ride with my spare Profile wheels and I kept those in my bike ever since. I didn't like the amount of slack the driver had compared to my Profiles either, however the driver bushing is something I am enthusiastic about. After a week of riding it felt more or less the same as a driver with bearings. The hub design is great, really solid product, just isn't the right hub for me personally.

[@anton_arn]

Stuart Gibson Thank you very much for quick response, I really appreciate it! I’m going to take your word for it and try my luck with the hub, because Profiles are quite expensive here and Madera nowhere to be found, hopefully it will last me a few years. :)

[@stuartgibson]

@@anton_arn good choice!

[@MajloT]

@@anton_arn Hey man! Just checking - did you get the hub? If so, how's it holding up ?

[@anton_arn]

@@MajloT Hey, dude, I did. It's not particularly bad hub but if I had the chance to try it before actually buying it, I'd probably eventually choose something else.

[@Jofiljamez_05]

hey im curious about the hub because i have one.. i want to know how strong it is.. im using it now like 4 months

[@stuartgibson]

As far as I know it’s pretty bulletproof now. I went back to riding Profile hubs after 3 months because I didn’t like the amount of engagement points the hub has besides some first series production flaws mine had.

[@stuartgibson]

Professor Feathers I do! The hub is designed very nicely, however the first batch of hubs had a brittle driver-side conus due to wrong heat treating. We’re years past that point now and they sent out replacement parts to those who needed them is what I heard so it should all be good now! I just personally didn’t like the amount of engagement points ultimately so went back to my profile hubs I had already put back in my bike because I was traveling frequently at the time.

[@stuartgibson]

Professor Feathers the supreme hub has less points of engagement compared to the minis so you’ll feel a bit more slack. I mostly ride ramps and use pedal pressure a lot for lip tricks so I prefer lots of engagement points!

[@christianrodriguezflores1759]

I just received this hub, and after i tightened the wheel in the frame, i noticed that the drive moves from the inner side to the locknut a little, everything is on its place, it moves a little but that bothers me a little. Is this normal for this supreme hub?, the rim it’s not loose, just the drive moves, please help me with this

[@stuartgibson]

Christian Rodriguez Flores I’d say that is perfectly fine yes! As the driver doesn’t have bearings but a bushing it can’t be locked in place the same way, or so I’d imagine.

[@christianrodriguezflores1759]

Stuart Gibson thanks man, i just saw all the bad comments about this hub in the video, let’s see how the hub holds up,

[@stuartgibson]

It’s only the first batch that had some issues as I understand. The hub will serve you well! Have fun!

[@HardwayPhotogallery]

You should show the mechanism whit better angles or close up, you can keep talking at the same time.

[@stuartgibson]

I’ll keep that in mind for the next one thanks!

[@skinnyrodsbmx1149]

Same thought

[@genuineg330]

I love the we the people hubs more the old ones but these are nice to but I’ve notice they don’t spin that long so you have that same problem?

[@stuartgibson]

I agree, I’ve noticed the same. I’d say its because of the driver bushing. I personally had some locknut issues with this specific hub, should be addressed by Wethepeople now

[@Niko_bmx]

can you make it more louder?

[@stuartgibson]

Degreasing the hub shell and the driver pawls would make it louder but also reduce it's lifespan

[@danielmulvey2181]

Awesome vid dude

[@stuartgibson]

Thank you sir!

[@josevegalopez7913]

Ooh yea good video one month yo pay hub hablo de la verga el inglés

[@josejrgomez7435]

Superem new system is cool but not as loud as the old system. 😔 its still good but not as loud.

[@stuartgibson]

Josejr Gomez I agree! The old system was louder indeed!

Is that a Bigfoot skateboard?

No, this is a penny board
