Most / all 80s and early 90s hubs were shit. No question!And when stuff got heavy in the later 90s it didnt always make it any good.Some of us cant afford £150 for a back wheel If you are busting hubs or chains, then you are using the wrong ones (or fitting them badly).There are heavy/strong NS parts available if you want/need them.
bust about 5 hubs

the chains and hubs are what ever came on the bikes ie the haro forum i got a few years ago, landed a medium ish drop and the cog just shattered into pieces , i cant justify spending profile money on hubs these days what with kids a wife and own business and tbh newschool aint really my thing mid school is and i still have my original g sport hubs on alex supra rims as well as my haro rims n hubs off a old blammo that never go wrong, gets me grief of the tight trouser gang for riding a big fat old s&m that weighs what all there bikes do
Alex your in NS denial . I've got a nice set of Primo supra e rims on Seventies fat hubs spare,so let me know when your cassette hub grind to a halt and i'm sure we can come to a deal
not hard enough for the dark one that , you need one of these Diggler proper mid tank
who the fook would put a bent seatpost on a bmx
it's a case of 'buy cheap, buy twice' with some of these ns hubs for sure.i've had my profile hub for over 10 years, and all its needed has been 2 new drivers, 2 new axles, some new bearings and a new shell. trigger's brush springs to mind.
