flyinwall Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 i found these free wheeling hubs on ebay and i was wondering if anyone knew anything about them i dont even know what brand they are but they are cheap enough for the amount and type of wheeling i will be doing http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220719333818&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Precise1 Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Nope, never seen them before. Odd that there isn't even a manufacturer listed. Considering you can buy a set of Mile Markers for the same or less, I personally wouldn't bother with them. B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahardb0dy Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 on some of the other hubs he has listed he has an OEM number listed, maybe they are OEM outside of the US?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nunya Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 They look like a VERRY clean (of course they're brandy new) set of factory hubs to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavefromOZ Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 They are probably Chinese, I know of a manufacturer in China who can do them for around half that from memory, but with a minimum order of 50 sets its not viable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northernpathy Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Have to agree with Dave and it looks like knock offs from China. Might work just fine but I am not sure if I would take the chance when, like Precise stated, you can buy MM ones for the same price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrimGreg Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Looking at the picture, they look like the OE hubs, inside and out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morpheus Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 unless they are an exact copy, they are original OEM nissan manual locking hubs, same ones I had on the R50 and now on the X. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyinwall Posted January 13, 2011 Author Share Posted January 13, 2011 unless they are an exact copy, they are original OEM nissan manual locking hubs, same ones I had on the R50 and now on the X. so are they any good or are they @!*%e Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Precise1 Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 The OE unit is desirable as it was generally considered the strongest available. I have no idea if these are actual OE or imported remakes, or if that matters. That is a good price... B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madhornet Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 they gotta b oem's there are nothing else beside Warn Milemarkers or Rugged rocks great price and yes rugged Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavefromOZ Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 they gotta b oem's there are nothing else beside Warn Milemarkers or Rugged rocks great price and yes rugged I disagree, there is a chinese manufacturer who makes 28 spline manual hubs for the Pathy, click the clicky below to go to the manufacturers site, is the same hubs. I have contacted the manufacturer in the past and can get them dirt cheap, but without knowing the quality or reliability factor and needing to order 50 sets at a time, it never went any further.

madhornet Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 they are a clone of the oem's i am not a fan of that China stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrimGreg Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Same construction, cheaper materials. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Precise1 Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Precision, fit and finish may also be inferior. Looks the same doesn't always count... B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
