Skyways - whats with the different hubs?

<< < (2/2)

griff:
older plastic hubs are not sealed bearings I don't think Paul & if they're for a show bike people will always want the genuine article
think the older ones also don't have holes for reflectors like the new ones do

new ones also have long axles which usually need cutting down/rounding off unless you're putting pegs on

but if you want to ride em & don't care whether they are perfectly 'era correct' just get the new ones, the sealed bearings spin like butter

Coastvl:
Thats right. The older plastic hubs are looseball. I have a new set on my 07 Quad and they are awesome. Roll forever.
