the return of chub.
I recently picked up a new old stock Chub Hub, last manufactured in 2003/2004. The hubs were famous for their appearance (enormous carbon barrels with huge glued-on aluminum flanges) as well as their… well, somewhat spotty QC reputation.
Interestingly enough, a new manufacturer is now reintroducing the Chub. I spoke to Joel at By the Hive about the hub, and he allayed some of my concerns about the formerly spotty quality control (rumors spoke of separating aluminum flanges, bad threads, poor bearings, etc) stating that the new hubs were going to have some significant re-engineering that should reduce the problems with the former hubs. I’m quite anxious to see how the new hubs turn out, to be sure.
sweet, sweet vacation.
Six days! Real vacation! Sun! Sand! Liz and I are off to Antigua on Sunday for some nice beach time. I cannot possibly express how excited I am… we both seriously need a break. Should be great.
