Why Choose the New Tensile Aerosilk Plus 2 Hubs

26/11/2014

1 Comment

 
So why choose the brand new Tensile Aerosilk Plus 2 Disc Hubs. Quite apart from the stunningly good looks of these superb hubs and their incredible lightness , you have to consider the development work and prototype testing that has gone into their evolution. New techniques in anodising have led to this two tone colour effect on the delicate CNC machining. The hubs are simple and easy to maintain, coming apart with simple use of 2 - 5mm allen keys. Top quality silky smooth industrial sealed bearings by Takino (part of SKF Group) throughout, ensure that they remain smooth running and serviceable. Rear hub has four bearings and front hub has two.

For super rapid pick up we have added three extra pawls to the cassette body, staggered by a few degrees, so that instead of 36 engagement points per revolution, they have 72, giving almost instantaneous pick up and good positive ratchet sound. This also protects the pawls from the damaging hammer effects of low pick-ups.  This system is further improved by having individual springs on each pawl, unlike the cheaper system of an external spring holding all the pawls together. Thus if one pawl spring breaks the hub continues to operate with slightly reduced efficiency, rather than stopping working altogether.

We also listened to the current trends in the market and made the following changes to the design of the original Aerosilk Plus Hubs. The Rear hub can be quickly changed from a Standard 10mm Quick Release to a 12mm Through Axle Hub. The Front Hub can also be changed from a Standard Quick Release to a 15mm Through Axle. Either hub can be specified as a standard quick release or with the oversized through axles. The relevant parts to convert them from one to the other are also available to purchase separately.

So there we have it. Probably the most dazzling & good looking Disc hub set on the market, which are also amazingly tough, incredibly efficient, super light and are simple and easy to maintain.

 Finally, you are buying the ‘Luxury Limo’ of the all mountain hub market but you are only paying ‘Family Saloon Car’ prices. Yes, you would think that the price of such product development would make your eyes water, but our aim as always, is to produce top quality but affordable bicycle parts.

     Listen to this feedback from a recent purchaser.


‘Many thanks for your help in recent purchase of 29er wheels. Wheels not only look superb but really work well..have transformed my bike handling.’

 

Weights Rear Standard Quick Release        264 grams

               Rear 12mm Through Axle               259 grams

               Front Standard Quick Release       159 grams

               Front 15mm Through Axle              130 grams

Hiya Mike. I didn't know you were an old bu@@er like me (same age) until I read your blog tonight. So now I know you may be "approachable"!
I bought a DDG Mutha, 17 " frame from you in 2007 and loved the bike. However, the back end bearings finally gave up and I couldn't get replacements. Now I've just broken the DDG Hitman I got from you also in 2009! I would like to try another DDG but in view of the impossible to obtain bearings I'd rather not pay all you're asking for the Mutha frame with a limited life, so my inevitable question is "Will you take a lower offer please?". (I could whinge about being a poor pensioner but I don't think that would impress you).
