So I have an IRO front hub with a minor blemish that I was sent a replacement for by Tony and his great customer service. He said give it to someone who needs it, so here goes. The winner will have shipped to them at no cost a 32 hole front IRO hub. The contest, well couldn't really think of one. So basically make me send you this hub, do what it takes, keep it in the forum rules, have fun. This has been approved by the powers above, but it will get shut down if it gets out of hand. Have at it boys(and girls).

Free hub to first response? :D
Can I ask what the blemish was? I just received my IRO hubset, and, while not perfect, they look pretty good for the $20 + shipping. It's good to hear that IRO was chill chill about it, but I don't think I'll have to deal with any returns or anything.

Well I will say this. I have no front wheel right now..lol. Well I do, but it is from the 80s and I only bought a rear wheel so far. So if a factor to winning the contest somehow factors in with need, then I am that guy. I am saving up for another weinmann dp18 for some hard city riding so a front hub would be fantastic.
As for the contest...I would gladly entertain you with a quick funk slap bass solo. lol.

The blemish is a knick at the top of the flange, very small, not a big deal, but I am anal I guess. I'll post up pics when I get home. And yes, Tony at IRO is a fantastic person to deal with.

OK so my idea sucked. Bomb Komodo send me your shipping info and I'll get it out tomorrow. Sounds like you could use it.

This signature sucks. Please consider removing it.
Not to mention King Buzzo, or any of the other Melvins, wouldn't be posting here.

Thank you! talk about an assault on the 'ol rods and cones.
Plus, no one would give a **** about the melvins if cobain didn't talk them up [runs and hides]

Nobody "won", I am sending it to bomb komodo because it seems like he will use it. He still needs to post the bass vid though.........
Bomb Komodo
06-30-11, 07:41 AM
Ok, I never said vid, but i did say mp3. lol. If I did a vid it would sound like sheet. If you guys are cool with the mp3, I will proceed..been a long work week and I have not been able to track anything just yet.
Bomb Komodo
06-30-11, 07:44 AM
im thinking I will play the riff from crazy train right before I slide into the solo so you guys know it is me. I seriously doubt there are mp3s floating around with that combination..haha.

BTW, it's coming. I am not flaking, just wrapping up a long work week. I am sure some of you guys know the "end of the quarter" weeks, and how insane they can get.
I did say I would do it, and I am definitely sticking to what I said.
Plus, no one would give a **** about the melvins if cobain didn't talk them up [runs and hides]
you're a liar and i hate you for it.

Heck of a day..I wiped out and landed on top of my head.Ifit was not for my helmet I think I may have died.
Anyway, may have a concussion...not sure..feeling ok. I got the hub in the mail, and it is awesome. THANK YOU!!!
I felt like I needed to make some bass. So it may drift a little out of time or sound a little sloppy, but I am covered with road rash so i needed to take my mind off it. Hopefully this link works:
