Title: ACS Z Hubs
Post by: Moose on October 10, 2005, 12:29 PM: What is the difference between ACS Z hubs and ACS small flange hubs or were they one and the same, just with different stickers?

Post by: Moose on October 10, 2005, 02:16 PM: I thought the Z hubs were only low flange?

ACS Z Hub - small flange

(http://www2.propichosting.com/Images/500310/6.JPG)

I'm just wondering if someone's taken an 'ACS Z Hub' sticker and put it on a 'normal' ACS small flange hub or if all ACS small flange hubs were 'Z Hubs'?

Post by: pickle on October 10, 2005, 03:13 PM: I had a couple of sets BITD and the Z hubs were all small flange, from what i remember the large flange hubs didn't like the amount of 'flex' in the Z rims and aften cracked around the spoke holes.

Could be wrong though :D
