Does yours come with forks? Reason I ask is cos I'm after some good piccies of the 'Heavy As...' and 'F**k' that came sometimes on the toptube, sometimes on the forks as I can re-do em in Illustrator.

Also note the similarity between this and an earlier hub that came out a couple of years before this one

It was a design problem to get a big bearing behind the freewheel. I think earlier Gsport (or maybe Gack) hubs tried to do it so both bearings pushed in from the non drive side. PE were the first hubs to have the screw on freewheel thread that went on after the bearing was in-place.

But then the "cassette" design of hub (with the freewheel being part of the hub shell) solved it all much better/neater/smaller/lighter.

Yeah - not criticising design as at the time was a great idea - and the bigger bearings you could slap in hubs the better

I think it was Gack that did the first 'both bearings in from one side' - then the later GSport Homer hub did the same - using a spring collar to secure the drive side bearing. All good - stopped having to change peregrine axles/bearings every few months

Cheeky post bump as no bugger looks in the wanted section - but does anyone have a spare RH MX-99 lever? Or a pair I can buy - gonna run a frant brake for the first time in 16 years on this bike
