It's just a front hub being used for an unintended purpose.
Your premise is simply full of holes.
Ignore list. I have better things to do, even if it's staring off in space.
I said ...
"I got to wondering about these rear hubs I have that have a cup and cone, loose ball design and use ten 3/16 inch balls per side"...I never said anything about thinking it was common, in fact I am aware that it is somewhat uncommon. Formula hubs have 3/16 balls in the rear. And Velosolo sells this set-up and swears by it. They sell parts to do this and by the looks of it they sell hundreds of cogs for this very set up. While not unheard of, it is not common.
I totally get that the hub was designed for front duty.
I don't have a "premise" here nor did I ever. I was questioning the use of 3/16 balls in rear hub duty. This is a query........not a
premise. If you think I had a premise here, I would love to know what it was.
Have fun with the better things out there...
