Front Hubs

[fred]

Are the Cannondale front hubs identical to a 400ex? I messed up the threads on a hub and was wondering if my extra 400ex hub will work as a replacement.

Good question, I know the bearings are the same. So I guess if the offset, width and rotor diameter is the same then they should work. Give it a shot!

I am not sure I will check, but I remember something about the spindle not fitting right. If it works use it though. Just don't let your first test ride be at a race and you should be ok....

I also believe the 400 ex front makes your quad wider. Not much just a little.

Talk to Big Winky about that, the spindle is different and it has to change to run the EX stuff I believe. He explained it to me when I was looking at a 400EX front end ... and we decided it was a bad idea.

What are my stock hubs worth? :deal:

I know you can use all of the 400 ex stuff though. Like if you used the spindles and hubs and go to a complete 400 ex front end. You will have to modify it a little bit though.

When you start swaping arms and spindles from one model to another, you get into problems!

I agree with Jeff on this one. Winky said the front end pushed and the geometry just wasn't quite right. I think that is because the 'Dale is forward and inch of an EX or something like that ...


Again, what are my stock hubs worth? :deal:

[Derno24]

I wasn't talking about the arms and such just spindles and rotors....If you wanted to do the arms too you could just get camber castor adjustable one to correct that problem though.

I know it keeps getting more expensive. My answer to all problems keep throwing money at it. It will go away.... :eek:

[JeffQuadShop]

another problem you run into is tie rod angles. Can't fix that with adjustable arms.

Thanks for the info. Looks like I may need to buy another stock hub. If only I could find a good deal on some used Cannondale hubs...
