Hey all, just a quick sanity check I need a new front hub, bike is a 2013 Carrera vengeance, I believe it’s a standard QR, distance between drop outs is 110mm, I only roughly measured it by poking a ruler through the spokes and eyeballing it. do this this sound right? On the net is seems to suggest 100mm is the standard.
Forks are standard cheap suntours if that helps, XCM I think.

Can anyone advise? Thanks

    Its not worth swapping the hub with those rims, may as well buy a wheel, why do you think you need a new hub anyway?

    And yes its 100mm, some finger trouble while measuring I think.

    Thanks guys, yes it will be part of a new wheel, fuhured I may aswell get a new hub at the same time. I was just getting confused with the different specs when looking at hubs.

    Thanks

    Pretty good wheel for the price, a lot better than the circa £30 it will cost for the cheapest (unless you go 'preloved').
