Blake Posted June 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 Really? it's a bit more and I would rather spend the money on a few other bits and bobs, i've never had a problem with open bearing fronts...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is honestly worth spending the little extra to get a front sealed hub. 'Open-bearing' hubs are more hassle then they're worth in almost all cases. Sealed front hubs are pretty much fit-and-forget. The sealed ones by Onza aren't very expensive at all and pretty light too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitafox Posted June 16, 2011 Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 Yup I ran sealed onza hubs on my mod and they're a fit and forget job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
