Grant said they are made by KT. I believe this is in the Blug.

Visually, the website picture of the rear hub seems identical to the hubs
sold at last year's garage sale (except for the whimsical
can't-spell-stuff-good new logo). The front is a different design.

Road hubs: QL-ZL7R look the closest - 6 pawls, etc. , just not enough holes in
the flanges.
I have ordered a set of the Silver from Rivendell.

David, When you get them can you please post if the CS body is steel or
aluminum ?

Another interesting characteristic of the rear hub is the location of the
pawls. Unlike "most" freehubs, which have the pawls on the freehub body,
these hubs have the pawls (6 sets of 2ea) located in the hub body, with the
ratchet ring on the freehub body. So the "moving parts" move less -- grea
Well, bad on me! We checked the freehub body at Riv today, and, while the
spacer and bearings are indeed steel, the freehub body itself is alloy.
Sorry. Still a great hub, though.

So, does anyone think they can wear out the alloy freehub body? :)

The prevailing worry is your cassette cogs will dig into the splines and
make it difficult to remove your cassette down the line. It's a pretty
common thing for riders like us to just say "enough, I'm never buying an
alloy cassette body again". It's one of the reasons many of us think Deore

I had never heard of an alloy cassette body before. I was completely
surprised to read that the Silver hubs have this. I didn't know that this
was a thing that hub manufacturers would do. Considering the cogs are
steel, and all the motive force propelling the bicycle forward is
transmitted t
My hubs arrived yesterday. They look at least as good "in person" as in the
photos. The alloy vs steel question has already been answered. I plan to take
the recommended precautions, but that is not a deal-breaker for me. I hope
that issue does not make them go away. As others have said, if R
Have any folks been riding their new Silver hubs? Any thoughts?
I'm considering one for a rear, heavy duty touring and trail wheel.

Yup, looks very similar to these, but in the nicer silver color!

I called Riv and talked with Rich. I was mainly asking about the availability
of the 130 end caps, but also asked if the body was steel or aluminum. He first
said aluminum, but after checking said steel.

Question is, can a steel replacement be obtained? A prior post pointed out
a 6 pawl cro-mo freehub from the same manufacturer, is it a direct fit?

Anyone know if these were ever offered in 130mm rear spacing? I see at
least one remark in this thread about checking with Riv "about the
availability of 130 end caps." Are they available?

Rich said I would receive an email when/if the 130 end caps were available.
None yet. He also said he felt it would be no problem if I squeezed them into
my 130 spaced Riv Road. Was easier than I expected. I have had my new wheels
with these hubs for about a week with limited riding opportuniti
Hi, does anyone know the answer to Jim's question, below, re: replacing the
alloy freehub body with a cro-mo one on Silver hubs? I removed my cassette
last night with great difficulty to discover rather large grooves in the
splines cut by the cassette. Grateful for any advice.

I've been researching the possibility of getting a cromo freehub body for
Silver hubs and haven't actually come up with a solution but do have a
couple of leads:
1. After some sleuthing I have come to believe that the Silver hubs were
manufactured by KT, a Taiwanese company that manufacturers
I looked at that Ben's Cycle listing for a SRAM freehub. I'd bet a dollar
that IF it's really gold in color, like that picture, that it is not in
fact steel. I don't know of a way to make steel be that color. That's a
picture of an aluminum freehub body. If the item you are actually buying
I think that’s probably right. I contacted Rivendell and they do not have and
did not know of any cromo replacements. I think there are more alloy freehub
bodies out there that are compatible, but I think I’m just going to ride this
freehub into the ground, i.e., until I can’t get the cassettes
Some aluminum freehubs put a small steel strip on the load bearing part of
the gear mating profile. Seems like a good idea.

Rich just sold 4 Silver hubs with the steel freehub body on a first come
first serve basis.
I am one of the lucky recipients :)
Next time the wheel is rebuilt on my Road Standard (which happens every 2-3
years as I destroy rims with some regularity) it will be with a Silver hub!
