Tree hubs

That one would be 14mm. The 3/8" refers to the size of the ratchet used on the bolts. The silver is a polished raw. Not super high polish, but enough to shine.

Well that's not as clear as it could be... Guess i'll have to shimmy over to Dans
You think running a 3/8 female rear hub on a 14mm axle w/ adapters is sustainable for a few months?

I dunno man, you get a guy racking a set of doubles and ya never know

Its a true 14mm female thing. Not a 3/8s axle. although they do make those, this hub is not that.

Why do you want 3/8"? When it comes to the tree hubs, the 3/8" and 14mm versions aren't noticeably different in weight. In fact i.think the 3/8" is heavier because it uses chromoly bolts and.the 14mm uses aluminum.

My back wheel isn't doing too hot, if I get a new one I would need a 14mm axle
I'm going to buy a frame that has a 3/8 axle hopefully sometime in the near future, so I don't want to buy a hub with a 14mm, then buy a whole new one 4 months later. I also don't have money to buy a $370 frame and a $300 wheel at the same time.

Ah Alright. Well, 3/8" with adapters is just as strong as 3/8" in a 3/8" dropout. So you shouldnt have any problem until you get your new frame.

The 14mm bolts are chromoly but you can buy the aluminum ones . The 14mm aluminum are well strong enough for heavy peg use, Ive run them for a few years now with no problems.

Yes, 3/8 bolts with adapters will be fine? I run profile 3/8 in back with pegs and have never had a problem so asking if the Tree hubs will be fine, ABSOLUTELY!

This. The 14mm bolts are chromoly, not aluminum. And 3/8" will be fine in the rear, especially if you don't run pegs.

Why are you buying a 3/8th frame?

I'm not buying it because it has a 3/8 dropout, it's just a trail frame that happens to have a 3/8 dropout

My.friends V3 came with aluminum bolts. Weird.

Where was it purchased from? Mine was definitely chromo and I switched it out. I even talked with Sam before so and he told me there were no problems with anyone on the team running them with pegs also.

Clueless, darn good hub though...My wheels are still tight and true throughout the years and I have yet to everv adjust them?

You'll be fine especially being pegless. I run pegs with adapters on my 3/8" bolt G-sport ratchet hub on a frame with 14mm slots.

I see most people run birdcage rims, I would think everyone would be riding ribcage
is it the looks, the weight, maybe i'm missing something

I was into them when first coming out due to the rotational weight savings , they are good rims, I've never had a problem. .I also ride ribcages as well

Birdcages are strong enough for 97% of people, and they're light which feels awesome, plus they're a bit cheaper than Ribcages.

I weigh 220 lbs, have a ratchet to birdcage with the 3/8 kit in it. I occasionally run pegs and have never had an issue. I have a custom frame with 3/8 dropouts and my current frame with 14mm dropouts, which I use adapters with obviously. also never had issues as far as my dropouts go. my only issue with my rear wheel is that I wish I had gotten a rollcage or ribcage. my birdcage comes untrue pretty often but that's mostly due to my weight and riding style. a lighter and more smooth rider would probably be fine with a birdcage.

Ryno lite xl rims are better

I'd say if you're a lightweight guy who isn't sloppy birdcages will last. Rollcages are bombproof , you can get away with Birdcages
