REKKA HUBS does anyone out in the big wide world have any ,as i need a set for someone.
they are the same as mine but i want to keep these so looking for ones or a pair.dan
-
Dan - try Custom Riders, they used to sell a load of Rekka stuff there...might be worth a call...?
-
i have tried everyone i could think of dave,mason was first on my list but alas only head cups :daumenhoch:
-
were REKKA the same as the PE hubs?
they might be tricky to get hold of these days, searching regularly on e-bay might be the only way of finding a pair dude,
alex knows the PE dude doesnt he? you could ask him,
i'll have a search around for you mate and keep my eye open for a set :daumenhoch:

cheers joe
the rekka hubs and the pe hubs are very different both custom hubs of sorts but different.
these are my hubs so keep your eyes peeled guys.

nice :smitten:
you do a hell of a job with these wheels dude :4_17_5:
i remeber the pics of them before, they look sweet as fook now,
if the rekka's prove too hard to source you could go the PE route,even g-sports would be similar era,
"eyes are peeled" :LolLolLolLol:

Alex WAS the PE dude!
A friend of mine had some Rekka hubs but hated them! They kept coming loose and his wheels would move and on one occasion fall off!

lol i have been after a "pe "front for my holmes but no luck yet ;)
-
was PE anything to do with that company that made the really expensive free-coasters? dream-machine? green-machine? something like that!
i'll be honest though living in sheff there wasnt really ANY other uk hub company :LolLolLolLol:
-
cyclone cycles sold them ,not sure who manufactured them but alex was involved .
the gsport hubs i have about 5 of them i might use apair if a pe doesnt surface.

"..... I AM the baby eating bishop of Bath and Wells!"
PE Hubs were the hubs I designed and got made (the first left hand drive hub?). The bloke who made them did a top job (and also had some input on the design) and was keen to make more. I couldnt get anyone to do sell them without putting 40% on the cost and it just made them really expencive. I asked Cyclone Cycles and Ray said they would sell them and just put a fiver or so on top of what they cost to make (John and Ray rule!). I put the dude who made them in contact with Cyclone and they worked it out between them. They sold well for a few years but then light cassette hubs took over and that was that.
Those expencive free coasters were made by Mike Jory, a flat lander and top man from Exeter. They were called Sym Hubs and from what I could tell, the were great, just cost too much to make.
I dont dont anything about Recca or G-sport hubs so I cant help you any more.
