care to explain the manufacturing and performance differences between the IRO hubs and the Formula hubs?
Lick on bro. IRO hubs are good ****. They are made by Formula which also makes good ****. IRO hubs are not Formula design and, as such, are not and cannot be found on any branded Formula hubs. They are not Formula hubs.
Phil bearings! Hey man, if you want them, by all means go for it. They are good bearings. Take them to a bearing dealer and they'll mic it up and I promise you, they are identical to Grade 25 bearings, which are still good quality bearings. Dude, go for Phil if you want. They make good stuff. I'm just trying to tell it like it is. 6001 is a myth. Just take some to a bearing dealer and ask them to compare it to a Grade 25.
