Rear hub Shimano LX silent clutch

[jimjim2012]

Rear hub, quick release.

Shimano LX

Silent Clutch

FH-R080

36 hole

Measured it as a 130mm across the hub length.

the axle fits in a 135mm frame. maybe needs a spacer to fit a standard frame?

engagement is good. the non drive side bearings feel rough.

Damm that would have been ideal had been a 32 fella, got any more kicking around.. ?

 

[jimjim2012]

nope, sorry. the only other silent clutch type hubs are my machinetech ones.

interest
you think it is only a matter of cleaning or greasing or is it more ?
cups a bit worn out ?

 

[jimjim2012]

erm, not sure. this is the only cup/cone hub i have so not sure whether it is the bearings or the cup. you know how i would tell?

not a specialist but seems to me that the only way is to open it and take out the balls, and clean to see if cup and inside are a bit worn out :?

yeah, the obvious i guess.

ok, i'll take it apart tomorrow and get a pic of the inner cone surface for you.
