I switched to steel female axles, two sets of driver springs and the newer serrated spacers. I don't really have any issues with my madera hubs anymore except that they are loud as shit.
I also chose not to use them again on my new bike. I just got Tree Hubs.
I thought most people like loud hubs?
I kinda like my bike to sound normal because it already draws too much attention just by being a raw Barcode. Sometimes (most of the time) I want to show up at a skatepark and just quietly ride my bike, be introverted as fuck, and not be bugged with 50 questions.
"what kind of bike is that? did you weld it yourself? can you bar/whip/backflip? what hub is that? why do you have plastic pegs? wanna play a game of bike? Are those your kids? is your wife hot? T1 is still around? do you ride trails? have you ever been to blah blah? blahblahgpoegejqbobr2gryvg;hjv q gh1jtdsfqetv2rjgfb1orf"
