Billet Rear Hub

[jenkspj]

Before I sold Jenks Bolts I'd started looking at a way to get an alternative to the horrible and spoke breaking prone rear hub.

Well, it took 3X as long as planned, but here it is: designed by Talon Engineering in Yeovil, Somerset and based on their Super Moto design it is machined from billet alloy and anodised.
It weighs 25% less than the stock casting, looks "right" and has a spoke lacing pattern that means the spokes are virtually straight pull and don't touch.

I'm not sure of the prices or how they are selling it, so you'll have to contact "Jenks Bolts"

That is one beautiful piece of work. "Jenks Bolts" should really be promoting this! If it solves broken spoke issues and saves 25% over stock weight (what does that add up to in actual weight savings?) you think it would be an easy sell if the price is right. Only one thing, needs a front wheel to match IMHO.

(what does that add up to in actual weight savings?)

About 1pound.
Could have been less if we had not wanted to use the stock cush drive and srive plate.

The front is in the works.....

Call the guys at Jenks Bolts...Not me!!
