 |  Subject: stripped my rear hub  2/28/2011, 9:44 am | |
| Ok so today i was riding and i started really cranking up a hill and either my chain slipped which i doubt since it's still tensioned properly, or i stripped the threads on my cog/hub. Any one have advice on a strong rear hub/cog assembly that i can really torque and not strip? | |

the lockring might just be loose, but i guess you were going up hill... formula hubs work fine, but really anything more expensive will work better or just as good. whats your price range? | |

| You likely just need to tighten your cog and then your lockring afterwards. Cogs need to be checked for thightness when they've just been replaced. | |

if he was going up hill, the cog would only get tighter... its either stripped or not tightened | |
