If FEMA had the bicycles, would it fund Hustler's manlet bib?

So cold.
Looks like I need to invest in some ear protection.
Bike Ride Profile | Evening Ride. Strava y u stop recording mid ride? near Kingston | Times and Records | Strava
First ride outside since about October; first ride on the new superbike.
Strava stopped recording... presumably while i was waiting at a light. Can I modify the ride to include the milage? Its only like 1.5k, but still.

Why do you say that? Going from feel, it seems pretty on, but I have no dashboard cyclometer on the bike to compare against. I know I maxed out the gearing (53x12 rings) just before my first big turn on woodbine and the speed correlates with that, so I assume the rest to be accurate.
The elevation graph isn't as representative of what really happened IRL though. lots of slow hills don't even show up on it, but they are really leg burners.

I'm not sure, I emailed the wheel company this morning and asked them what they'd like to do and if they're interested in reviewing the failure. That hub is pretty torn-up from the cassette gears cutting deep into the raised "teeth" on the free-hub body. The important thing is that I have spares laying around for stuff like this and not stuck, off the bike.

I doubt it... a lot of that stuff is sized different so you can't swap it. you can probably track down another novatech/formula/whatever freehub though. just buy 2.
haha King hubs are nice, but there are plenty of options that will last just as long and not cost so much (shimano). Besides-King's (MTB) hubs are super loud and buzzy when you coast. Kinda neat for a while, then it gets annoying.

means to upgrade hubs with different specs, you need new hubs and spokes, which if you have or use aero spokes gets very pricey @$2+ each.
On top of that, if your not a wheelbuilder or don't want to try it out your going to have to pay someone to lace and true/dish/tension your wheel.... gets pricey fast.
I suggest if you want different hubs to repair your current set and sell them, then build the new wheelset with the hubs you want. least investment that way.

I would hate that, even from the get go. Do they use a light oil in the prawls vs a grease or something?
I am super impressed with the (lack of) noise on the ksyriums. super quiet, and I like that.

I would clean that freehub and re-assemble. It should never do that- which makes me think that it was assembled incorrectly. You can adjust the spring tension, also clean out the hub shell. Re-grease with slick honey or Shimano grease and re-assemble. Don't use wheel bearing grease.
The notches are to be expected, only worry when they get over halfway through. Lightweight and cheap isn't always great.
Ksyriums have their own freehub issues. Only use mineral oil for freehub lube and clean them at least once a year to prevent the pawls from sticking. Also, don't lose the springs and pawls when you open them up. They are like $5 each and no one remembers to stock them. I took apart a hub the other day knowing they were in there and still spent 5 minutes looking on the floor.
