XR Vs. Scorpio Front Hubs

Post by DPDISXR4Ti »

I found this pic while eBay surfing - it's a NOS Sierra front hub, nicely labeled with diameter dimensions. I was hoping it might be a Cosworth hub, but no luck.

The comparable dimensions for a Scorpio or Cosworth front hub are:

Threaded axle: 27mm
Axle: 38mm
Bearing carrier: 53mm

Interesting that the thing they felt needed beefing up the most was the threaded axle.
