Title: Formula hub question
Post by: Thunderchild on September 22, 2004, 03:14:05 pm

Seems there were/are a few formula hub users here.  Anyone know why a formula rear hub (at least this one) has bearings of a bronze/brassy color on the disc side and silver colored on the drive side?   ???

I have never sold them or stripped one down so cannot comment.

The Formula of Hub fame is not the Formula of braking fame - that much I do know.

They are a Taiwanese company that make a lot of OEM hubs for companies like Giant and GT.

That's about all I know or can comment on.
