I was thinking the core would be made bigger, not smaller, so that the existing 10mm gap between the 22mm bearings remains. But Iām not opposed to a pure 28mm bearing seat either

Hub design is so far from my fortĆ©, Iāll leave it to the pros.
Brian is doing this with his new tubeless wheel and I think itās a fantastic compromise. Unfortunately, a 28mm OD bearing seat interferes with kegel pins, so I donāt think itās something Radium will implement.

this is the issue. @Tony_Stark should abandon the og kegel and go for the dadbod kegel pattern.
IMO, 8mm axles is a bigger sacrifice than using 10x22 bearings tho. would rather have bearings fail than axles.
edit: on second thought, there is no need to abandon the og kegel patternā¦ the hub cores could accommodate 22 and 28mm bearings, as well as og and dadbod kegel pulleys

I think this is exactly what Orangatang was hoping would happen when they introduced this core

This is a big deal breaker if you want the most sales.
12mm axels running 120mm wheels is gonna be pretty niche.

@PedroMcJimenez Seems like the flexibility of having any of the 3 axle choices is the selling point with the 28mm OD here.
Yes 12mm with 120mm wheels is probably a niche, but this makes 10mm axles a much more feasible option now.
As Pedro says. Its a really difficult decision because 28mm bearings is the proper thing to do but for the mass market they need to be 608 bearings and kegel core.

@Tony_Stark What about using the removable core design that the Infinity Hubs had?
Best of both worlds. Tolerance issues can be solved with a metal bearing insert for 22mm bearings.
Have not seen it but something like that will add weight cost and potential manufacturing errors with more tolerances that need to line up

it had issues, i rather not

@frame That issue can be solved with precision machine work. Itās a non issue if machined well. (By no means am I trying to criticize the infinity hub project. That design by nature can work.)
There are certainly ways to solve the issue, but solving it while keeping cost and complexity to a minimum is hard.

yes, its a if. and also userās ability / skill. after seeing how some people behave on here, i doubt it will be trouble-free for Radium.

It is a fiddly solution which adds a few places for tolerance issues and wear.
Dude.
That box looks killer.
Super clean.
Is this something you can buy?
Or did you make it?

the groundwork has already been laid to just do it. itās up to manufacturers of drivetrain adapters and pulleys to accommodate it.
I realize not everyone can get InfinityHubs but itās a great example of what can be done.
