The Tip Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 But does the rain curse happen with a gravel or road bike? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeing as the previous gravel rig saw a fair amount of trail time i'd say that rain can definitely happen with a new gravel bike, maybe not so much with a road bike. Haven't built up a road bike since 2007. This one is not 100% complete yet. I'm waiting on a center lock front hub to swap out the 6 bolt. The 6 bolt hub doesn't work with this fork, the rotor bolts just hit the mounting bosses for the caliper. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yikes! Has the manufacturer acknowledged that problem? Seems like a major oversight to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I contacted Revel and they responded that the fork was spec'd for a center lock hub with an internally splined lockring. I swapped the hub to center lock and found a TRP lockring that works. Â Yeah I was a little bummed when I discovered all of this. I thought this build would be an easy parts swap, instead it turned into a complete new build. So anyone looking to get a Revel Rover frame be aware that it requires center lock hubs or at least the front one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
