Has any of you guys tried shedding some weight off the front hubs? I know the flange can be machined, the only bit i can think of is the rear part where the drive shaft goes in.

I've often found that losing a bit of weight off the rear part makes it look generally nicer and is more pleasant when the shaft goes in. |

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of. |

Just by tidying up the casting you will loose weight and it will look better. http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c248/spe...er1/mini007.jpg

Bin the brakes and cut a hole in the floor, 2 birds with one stone, you'll loose weight in the front and the floor and be able to brake via the soles on your shoes. On 17th Feb, 2011 apbellamy said:

What about disk bells being ally they would save alot of weight, could even do a full bell and flange setup possibly, i have been thinking the same about reducing the hub weight and the rear radious arm, would love if somewhere did tubular ones off the shelf or something Drives
