I was going to get this hub.(This is the one were you can flip drive side right?) But then I saw the price £150. I was like. WTF,ZOMG ?!? and got a primo mix for £60 less.

I got a deal. It is a pricy hub, but it is soooooooo legit.

Hoorah.. for G-Sport hubs!

recklessness (Jul 16, 2009 at 17:12)

Hoorah indeed.

Only for the beasts. C.R. should get this too!

How much?

I got a bit of a deal.

Huh thanks for the answer.. how about some math?

im not suggesting anything, but that looks like a scale used for measuring illegal substances.

Whatever this scale did in with it's previous owner is no business of mine. I keep finding small chunks of plant matter in it though LOL.

Colin994 (Nov 7, 2010 at 15:14)

haha as long as you have use for it i guess. couldnt help but notice though

Cheers. Good eye.

stop buying all these nice things i want!

kieran-street (Jul 17, 2009 at 9:27)

unless ofcorse it is for me?

recklessness (Jul 17, 2009 at 9:28)

Never. I got you a single bolt. Will that suffice?

kieran-street (Jul 17, 2009 at 9:29)

if it'll fit my profile spindle then hmmm yes?

recklessness (Jul 17, 2009 at 9:31)

Sadly enough, I am willing to bet I have a bolt lying around that will fit in your Profile. You pick it up.

kieran-street (Jul 17, 2009 at 9:46)

hmmmmm would maybe be cheaper if i got one from here?

556g is heavy is it not ?
hope pro 2's are like 200g

recklessness (Jul 17, 2009 at 10:06)

It is a bit on the heavy side, but it is for my 21 lb BMX, so I would rather it be tough than light. I want a solid rear wheel.

Pro 2 is not 200g.

285g then

recklessness (Jul 17, 2009 at 10:29)

Fair enough. I agree that the hub is heavy, but it will server it's purpose well. I need a strong hub!!

spongosauraus (Jul 17, 2009 at 10:33)

fair enough lol i was just comparing weights lol not performance, one of my mates cracked like two pro 2's just by cranking

recklessness (Jul 17, 2009 at 10:34)

My buddy just snapped the axle on his Pro2. This hub will be bomb-proof, and it's flip-flip, so LHD for me!!! Yay.

recklessness (Jul 17, 2009 at 10:37)

Edit: Flip-flop hub* Typo to the max.

spongosauraus (Jul 17, 2009 at 10:40)

whats so great about lhd?

recklessness (Jul 17, 2009 at 10:40)

I grind on my right.

I hate having my drivetrain on my grind side. I am excited for LHD.

spongosauraus (Jul 17, 2009 at 10:46)

fair enough lol

recklessness (Jul 17, 2009 at 10:53)

There is method to my madness. I also made up for the extra weight of the hub by shaving weight elsewhere. It will all balance out in the end (and look/work 100x better).

pingu (Jan 22, 2010 at 15:11)

a little late, but the pro2 t is 370g and this is without bolts and a cog..
