UPGRADED HUBS – OUTSIDE LOOKING DH12SB ... new upgraded

DH41SB ... new upgraded

DH41SB ... old

DH12SB ... old Ø wider

Changes are running on the fly, so we don`t have exact date when changes started in ordinary production.

Suppose date of ordinary production is 01/Nov/2007.

NO DIFFERENCE

Ø smaller

DH41SB ... new upgraded

How to recognize new version: There is no big difference in outside looking of hub.

New version use smaller outside diameter of hub shell.

Highlighted by red lines of diameters.

Main difference: 3/ Bearings 2/ Long Spacer [axle] 7/ O-ring for Long Spacer

Generally nothing is compatible between old and new version !

Changes are running on the fly, so we don`t have exact date when changes started in ordinary production.

Suppose date of ordinary production is 01/Nov/2007.

DH41SB ... old

DH12SB ... new upgraded

How to recognize new version: You can see 6 holes in spoke flange which continue from holes from rotor flange.

Outside diameter of hub shell near spoke flange on drive side of hub is smaller.

Inside machining of hub shell is different Highlighted by red ellipse.

Every parts are compatible.
