I have never, ever, heard of anybody who wanted a warranty replacement on brake pads. As said, bit of a difference between putting 'thread lock' on threads and putting something used to construct roads on bicycle braking surfaces, no? Anyway, f**k coned hubs. Don't be a cheapskate and save fannying about with loose cones every five minutes and buy a sealed bearing hub. I use a trialtech sport, its the tits.
