    Geared hub in progress.

    My thought to the low torque value is tha due to the diameter of the nut and the thread count, is clamping force is higher with less torque.

    Geared hub in progress.

    The shims set the gear lash from one of the hub gears to the 4 spider like gears. There is the PM way to do it, and then there is Steve 6x6x6 way to do it. Both ways need special type tools. Proper set up is key to long lasting and quiet hubs. The spindle nut is only 20 ft/lb of torque. 400...

    Geared hub in progress.

    Perfect use for the old cap. I imagine without the trust washer, the hub must have been making some noise, with the gear lash being so out on one end. Nice looking combat rims, are you not going to run the ctis?
