Been wanting Hadley hubs since forever and got so lucky to get this brand new set in this special magentaish color.....and damn are they quality. I shoulda ponied up for them long ago, got a great deal on these though. They'll be going on the TR250, can't wait!!
There was a guy selling these same hubs at our bi-annual bike swap meet that were once laced. Excellent condition. He wanted $160 for the set, but my friend that was interested wanted them for a lower price. Crazy man. If I really needed them, I would've bought them.
Well, I've ridden Hadley hubs numerous times and now have them, that I thoroughly inspected and I am going to have to say that I do not agree with your statement. Unless there's an example of your "better options for less money" that I am not thinking about?
@Draggon: At my pricing, King is a better deal and way more available since Hadley does not have a dealer direct sales option. And for bang-for-your-buck, Hope is the best option out there IMO.
Equally priced but still better IMO is Project 321 hubs. More options and customization available as well.
@Draggon: niiiice! so I'm guessing two groups of pawls on a 36t hub ratchet? must sound really buzzzing Front one looking chunky. Is that for 20mm axle?
