hub axle question
i just got a new wheelset with pro max hubs and i notice that they seem to "work" differently than my iro hubs. what i mean by this, is that i can hold the axle in my hand with the iro hubs and the wheel spins around the axle, but with the promax it seems that the "spinning" part is seperate. in other words the hub doesn't spin around the axle, it spins around a part attached to the axle. what's the difference? i've searched, but didn't find.

yeah, pro max sb. but aren't the iro ones cartridge as well? the reason i ask, is that the old iro ones seem to move more freely, especially the front wheel. my new front wheel stops spinning pretty fast when i give it a spin of the ground.

hmm, that sounds slightly strange.
that being said, it might just be that the seals on your new ones need to break in a bit, and the whell will spin better once that happens...
i don't have those hubs though, so it's just guesswork on my part.

Promax SB's have a dust cover over the cartridge bearings.
maybe that's what you think the hub is rotating around?

I have both the IRO and Pro Max SB. Just spun them and I noticed the dust cap spins with the hub on the IRO, but not with the hub on the Pro Max. If that settles anything.
I also just got my Pro Max SB's from T* and have put about 75 miles on them. They ran sticky at first but are now nice and smooth.
