#1 Are all hubs equal?

Post by alunwill » Sat Feb 01, 2025 6:24 pm

I need to replace my rear hubs. I've just stripped the carriers and the ones I've taken off are pretty blue. Looks as though they've been running hot for quite a while.

Any recommendation on suppliers for replacements.

MWS are good..direct from them or SNGB sell them....2 options plain or black electronic plated..both suitable....i would suggest you thoroughly check the Aluminium carrier for cracks....once you've cleaned them up dip them in some petrol if cracked the petrol highlight them....I just posted a pair of carriers in the sale section.....Steve....ps I would also advise good quality branded bearings...Timken(SNGB) or a bearing supplier
