Has anyone tried building up the metal like on the 70 hubs by welding? I hear so many people crying how thin the later hubs are. Any ideas on if this would work or not?

It's just the safety factor because if you are running wide sticky tires and going fast on the track you sure as shit don't want a rear wheel to fail. Those walls can be effin hard. The late hubs are thinner (I am running them) and never designed to do what we do with them.
I and aiming for more track time so I will install the set of early hubs I have cuz I wanna live. Geoff |
