We machine these hubs from three inch round bars of 6061 aluminum. The hub shells are put through four different machining proccesses before they go to finishing, but it's totally worth it. The front and rear have the same flange widths and diameters for easy wheel building and a perfectly symetrical set of wheels.

High Flange hubs now use a special extra strong aluminum axle with stainless knurled axle faces. Fancy machined bolts and washers keep them on, although there is a quick release axle option.
