I spent a half hour or more trying to figure out a good online source for hubs. The nearby shops don’t have much in the way of parts. ‘Hub’ is too short for the search feature to accept it.
I’m building a two seater for some heavy people. Total weight about 500 pounds or a little more. Looking at various AZ plans it looks like options are a pair of steel discs drilled for spokes or trike hubs, only some of which have disc mounts.
I see ones branded ICE for about $70 each. Sun Seeker for $35-$55 (and awful vendor photos)
Then there’s kmotion for under $30 in some cases.
And various vendors in the triple digits that I am too cheap to consider.
Are these the hubs people are using? Is there some magical search term I should use to find more options? What’s the difference between a $28 hub and a $75 hub? Should I care?
Cruising purposes. No insanely high speed, high-G stuff for us. Roads, 95% paved, maybe some dirt or gravel but not likely.
