Reliable silver disk brake hub w/Campagnolo body?

[Timo]

I've searched the internet for a reliable silver colored hub for disk brakes with a Campagnolo body. So far I only found the Tune Kong QR5 and the Chris King R45. Both hubs get very mixed reviews for reliability and durability. Are there other options and what are the experiences of the forum members?

white industries

BHS is carrying Industry Nine which come in silver and Campy http://www.bikehubstore.com/product-p/i9cdr.htm

They list White Industries too, but not Campy.

I'd email them for reccomendations.

White Industries has that hub, but if you are using 11 speed just use whatever hub you want with a shimano or sram cassette.

Any comments on the reliability of the Industry Nine hub compared to King and Tune?

Nivatec d711 d712 or the d771 and d772 can be fojnd in silver. They are cheap and quite reliable. If you want expensive and very reliable then whilte industries or royce for silver hubs.

My son had a torch hub disintegrate internally this summer. They did nothing for him, and made him buy a whole new freehub assembly. Apparently the mechanical failure of the pawl mechanisms machining were his fault somehow. After he purchased the new assembly at full retail, they had the nuts to call and ask him if he would send them the damaged one so they could analyze the cause of the failure. He said he would send it to them for the same price they charged him for the new one. No I9 for me or him from that point one.

Thanks for the feedback!

I´ve considered the D712 but cannot find them with Campagnolo body (which I need because I run a 10 speed drivetrain).

Bdop cycling will supply Novatec hubs with Campag cassette carrier. Never seen them advertise Novatec hubs in silver though.

Another option would be Hope and their new Pro 4 hub. It can be had in silver with Campag body.

I checked Hope's website but did not find the campa version.

BTW, is the issue of cassettes chewing up the aluminium bodies on Tune and King hubs a problem for both Shimano and Campagnolo bodies? I read somewhere that it is only an issue with Shimano bodies but don't know if it was a reliable comment.

Hope Pro 4 are available with a Campagnolo body.

timo you just ask the seller to swap the body for you. Where is your initiative?

The Campa spline is quite a bit deeper than the Shimano one, I guess the Shimano one was originally designed only with steel in mind and there's a huge installed base by the time you want to change the design, as they tried to a few years ago then gave up. Upshot is that a Campagnolo alloy freehub has more meat to resist being chewed by the cassette.

Thanks for the confirmation "Miller"!
