  1. Well, my first love is injured. My 2004 Torker LX hub has a stripped
    bolt on one side. So I'm thinking about buying a replacement hub and
    having my LBS lace it up. I measured the hub flange-to-flange, and
    it's roughly 60mm. So, it looks like the Suzue 'hubs at uni.com'
    (http://tinyurl.com/7frxc) are the only ones that will fit. Are these
    hubs reasonably strong for freestyle and relatively light street
    riding? (Or, maybe I should abandon the Torker and get a new frame to
    match a better hub?)

    Also, I notice that these hubs have 40mm OD bearings. Is that pretty
    standard? As long as I get the bearings that come with the hub, the ID
    doesn't matter for rest of the uni, right?

    Sorry if my questions seem kind of basic, but this is the first time
    I've had to replace broken parts on a uni.

  2. Doesn't anyone have any answers? Hasn't anyone abused a Suzue hub? 😉

  3. The Suzue hubs should be fine for freestyle, although I think you can
    probably fit the unicycle.com square taper hub also. 40mm OD is the
    standard on non-splined hubs, though splined hubs now seem to be using
    42mm mostly.
