If you have the old electric hubs ,I can convert them to manual.
Ask the boys that have used adaptor rings, what they think of them.

I too agree.
The factory design works.
These are NOT freewheeling hubs, so don't have all those nasty side effects.
The only issues (if retaining the electric side) are the potential for wires to get ripped off, or for the brushes to get gummed up. I have had the latter but not the former. I have bent the wiring support so the wires are further away from the wheels (and my chains in winter).
If you really dont like the idea of electric hubs then get Old Blue to do a manual Allen Key drive conversion.

Personally I like to be able to just push a button. If a wheel does not engage I can feel it (when brushes stuck) and can always just undo the hub, manually engage it and reassemble. Not had to yet mind.

Have had the el hubs off several times, for wheel bearing adjustments or when changing to the Lock-right. The studs always stay tight.
