Ah shit, yeah, look at this vulture! https://www.ebay.co.uk/str/mrbirddirdsbikebazaar
Just bought all the good stuff and whacked on eBay at 300% markup. Cunt

I looked up the DT Swiss 350 weights and put them on one of the previous pages - the J-bend set is 390g and that might be underreporting slightly. Straight pull centrelock 240 hubset is listed at 305g.
I don't have any 350 hubs to compare to but of the many hubs that I have seen the Prime ones look perfectly fine and sensibly put together. Longevity would be the thing that is harder to assess by eye I suppose.

We still have trains with unpowered doors up here in Scotland. You lot with your massive infrastructure investment have it easy
-
One thing about the hubs is they're 24h so not the most versatile spoke count IMO. Kinlin XR31 comes in 24h and should be nice and strong
-
Can't remember for sure but the Ultegra might have an alloy spider, which will be less likely to notch your freehub

FYI before you adjust it

I've always had part-hoarding tendencies in fairness. Just used to be £2 V-brakes sets instead of carbon wheels.
At this rate I'll have my own Porsche thread in another few years 😥
-
Thanks, let's see if that works
-
Yeah, saw that. I'd quite like to reorder and send mine back for a refund but I think there's a risk I could end up with no hubs and no refund if they go bust or the parcel gets delayed.
The straight pull rear is down to £30 if you want to save a little bit of weight but annoyingly the matching front is still £35 instead of £15
The straight pull SR1D is the one in the Attaquer wheelset which is 1450g, and the J bend SR2D is in the Baroudeur wheelset which is 1700g. My J-bend set are 407g so I expect the straight pull would be 300g and then a few g saved in the spokes?
Edit: For reference the centerlock DT Swiss 350 straight pull set is 362g and 390g for J-bend so maybe not so much of a difference after all

It's my partner's "road" bike. Fancy one with ISP and dampers and shit but a few years old so it was cheap
-
It's fucked up my wheelbuild planning spreadsheet though.
-
Pay on a credit card folks!
Bought two sets 😂
-
Me too initially, not sure why! Just thought I would see if I could find anything on desktop and they showed up for some reason
-
Managed to find this: https://primebikecomponents.com/pages/technical-support-documents
Specifically, for J bend:
I downloaded the exploded diagram and bearing replacement guide, etc. just in case they shut down the website
-
Yeah that's always an option, maybe with a bit of machining in the worst case, although the Wiggle Q&A pages do say that they're not compatible. Don't have any to hand to test it!
-
I got some of the £50 carbon rims a couple of weeks ago as well, that's gonna be a great wheelset for £160 + spokes

https://www.wiggle.com/p/prime-sr2d-disc-brake-front-hub-grey-12-x-100mm£59.98 for a set of star ratchet disc hubs. Came with end caps.
Only problem is going to be sourcing freehubs if Wiggle goes bust I guess

Jesus, they really are fucked

The silver lining of this is estate agents will probably get binned off by AI, since the only work they do is write these ludicrous descriptions and fail to reply to messages. ChatGPT can do that job already

Shit, it's back

Star Ratchet is good I'd say, it's the same internals at DT Swiss 240/350 hubs which most people rate.
I got burned by internal-spline lockrings on a 15mm hub before. I got the external ones after that https://www.wiggle.com/p/prime-15-20mm-center-lock-lockring
-
I don't think they are (normally), it's just a combo of Black Friday and all the big bike retailers being in financial trouble. Good time to be a #buyer
-
I don't know if people have clocked that the Prime hubs use the DT Swiss star ratchet on those

It's not that bad but it's the same as ticket scalpers, people who buy up graphics cards, bog roll hoarders in COVID, whatever.
Ultimately it's just a bit greedy/selfish, exploiting some innocent person's lack of time or bad luck to extract money out of them
