    How about $28 ea for 20mm thru axle hubs? Great for tadpole trikes

    I prefer these for trike use. 🙂

    These are Earth Cycles specific, but Phil Wood could probably be persuaded to make some more. They
    are not low cost by any stretch of the imagination, but I suspect they will outlast everything else
    on the trike.

    They do look good however I'm just putting disk brakes on my bikeE RX so I think almost anything
    with sealed bearings will work out fine. Thanks, Brian

    Do these come with the axle, q/r, bearings.? So far the juju ones look like an OK hub for the money
    I guess but who knows what bearings they run in them.

    I doubt they include the axle, but Chuck is fairly responsive to e-mail. I have a Juju rear hub that
    is excellent. There is an O ring that I suggest you remove, as it seems to serve to cause friction?
    The bearings are sealed units,so the O ring is overkill.

    An ex-BikeE person is closing out parts on ebay. It appears there are some front hubs from the E2
    there for cheap.

    Oh well, 16 and 32 is what I have. I'm almost done with the rear wheel disk brake conversion, all I
    need now is a longer brake cabel and then but it all on the bike. The Avid brakes get a lot of
    praise from most folks that I talk to so I think I made a good decision on those.
