Hotshot front wheel slipper hubs

Post by dinglem »

What the what what what?! That's what I thought too....

I have never seen or even heard of these before, but now that i have seen these pictures I can see how they might work.

I bought them yesterday so hopefully they will be landing through the post soon so that I can try them out. I am presuming the outer plate could be refined somewhat... especially if using alloy wheels.

Anybody else ever used these? I am told they were a period SRM Racing offering. Pics are from the For Sale ad.

I’ve never used them but the Parma ones come up often. This pic is an optima version.

I wonder whether these are Parma also then?

I also note from the Optima instruction picture in your packet that the plates are both located on the inside of the wheel, and not one on the outside as shown in the sales picture I posted. That would make a bit more sense!

Maybe take a look in the BST, in the For Sale post listed by LurkingCAT (if you haven't already).... this is his pic:
