this is just something that ive been thinking about over a few too many of the new miniature beers.



could you free wheel on front hubs that weren't driven?

do GTM's use a mini front subby on the front aswell as the rear? how do they go about using the hubs free wheeling?

as the disc in the hub set-up is only connected to the bearing assy though the drive flange and the outer CV joint. so if you have the outer cv there the disc isn't using the bearing assembly under free wheeling...not good.

so in order for it to work would you have to use just te outer cv joint and bolt it to the drive flange for the whole set-up to free wheel correctly?

does this make sense to anyone?

anybody got any opinions really want to hear please....

You're asumptions are correct, so the beer must be working.
The set up uses a C.V with the balls and cage removed and its as simple as that.
