Spinergy Xyclone Disc Version? - Cycling Mob: Road Cycling, Mountain Biking and More

11-30-2006, 09:48 PM

I'm trying to figure out what version my Spinergy Xyclone Disc
wheelset is... the Spinergy site lists different part numbers
for versions 1,2 or 3, but doesn't tell you how to differentiate
between the versions!

Is there some way to tell just by looking at one of the wheels?

Thanks

V1 &V2 have nipples at the hub. V3, the nipples are at the rim. Don't
know the diff between V1 & V2, thoough.

Thanks! It looks like I have V3, which makes me happy after some
of the reviews I've read about problems with earlier versions...

I noticed last night while browsing around on the 'tech' section
of their site that they have recently added a parts list for V4.

Before posting this question to the group, I'd tried to ask
Spinergy through their website's contact form. I didn't hold out
much hope of hearing back from them, but just got a reply that I
thought I'd post here so anybody searching for the answer in the
future might find it. From the Spinergy email:

"Version 1 has a silver free hub with a small black ring.
Version 3 has an all silver free hub. Version 4-5 is silver with
a small blue ring around it. You will need to remove the
cassette to see the free hub."

Mine have the blue ring, so I guess I have a version 4-5
