Can any Lazer guru tell me how wide the Lazer ZX-5 rear hub/carriers are, where the hinge-pin goes ("A" in the image) and also the depth, "B"?

And lastly, do these Lazer hubs utilize the same size bearings as the Optima does (5mm I.D. x 10mm O.D. x 4mm thick I believe)?

Thanks!

B= 9.5 mm
A= 12 mm
And yes the bearings are the same. -Jeff

Thanks Jeff, this part is gonna give me options! I'm surprised it's actually narrower (at the pins) than the stock Optima hubs. Based on your info, I made a purchase. I appreciate you taking the time to measure.

If you do a search on google and ebay you can find a version that has three holes on top and bottom and thats what i use on my zxr and zxs.

I think he wanted the blue aluminum bits. -Jeff

Mine are blue alloy so needs to search. Mine came from hong kong. Link nelow and this gives better options than the two hole version.

Thanks for the link, I checked those out...beautiful pieces, indeed (they also make front knuckles & C-carriers). But at over $36 a pair, no thanks! I paid about $12 for the 3Racing units. They're not hard-anodized but should still be nice upgrades from the stock glass-filled nylon carriers.

Price difference is a lot, so makes a lot of sense why you bought it.
