Title: hubs Post by: gpz on July 15, 2013, 05:34:00 PM before i put the hubs back on to my relaint axle should i put some copper slip on the taper to make them easier to split if i need them of again

Don't expect to ever take them off again and the secure ness was reassuring. I'd rather struggle in 10 years than have problems in the next 6 months, so mine went on as I found em, dry!
