Anyone remeber which front hub...

[SStumpjump]

Back in the mid nineties, some american hub maker produced a front hub with no middle section.

So the hub consisted of only an axle, two sealed bearings, and two flanges on the bearings. And I'm not thinking of the polycarbonate Hershey hubs. This was totally open, weighed around 50 grams!

Anyone remember? Pictures?

Cheers,

Kynetyk Psykolz also did a rear hub, but it was apparently a death trap. The front didn't work very well either.

Yup! That was the one I was thinking of. Thanks.

Wouldn't trust a wheel built on this, but it looks cool! :roll:
