Can someone enlighten me on the failure mode of front hubs? I have like 4 extras. And as long as my wheel isn't going to fall off I might just put a used one in my spares box when I go to the track. Instead of buying new ones. Cuz they aren't cheap.

Does it get wobbly first. Or just sudden wheel loss.

I've heard it can be either. I've toasted 2 already, they gave no warning.

Just add checking front wheel hub for play, to the list of weekly things to do. Along with checking chinese sphericals for play.

Rear spindles are bearingless. I'm toying with the idea of making a set of blockoff plates for all the machined surfaces to save the powdercoater some time.
