Default Quick Release Hub Review:

[B]SO I am broke and decided to buy a quick release hub, hub, and a momo 300mm Wheel. I see many designs such as the NRG/ V1. and V2. but they are too expensive. SO ebay as usual served 2 generic QuickRelease Hub adaptor for cheaperoo.

The NRG replica Generic costs : $31 shipped.


The PowerImport Generic (slim) costs: $24
The (PowerImport) (i bought this one)) QR hub is really awful and you do get what you pay for. <center>

</center>

PROBLEMS:
1. Design is bad. You have to match up 8 yes EIGHT! points. It takes me about 4 minutes at times to connect. This QR adaptor is designed not to .005 mill i would say .05 or .1 mill.

2. They use a PVC plastic as the QRelease Button. And the little PVC tab will fall out real soon.

<center>

</center>

3. I thought that buying this would deter people from stealing my car. I guess if my car does get stolen, the robber will come back and complain about the Hub.

The GOOD:
4. it's Slim
5. It's Cheap
6. It' works okay.

^^ not smart, I rarely remove mine when driving, but never on the freeway. Usually just to fix it's position since I "guessed" wrong & put it in so the top wasn't in fact up top when going straight.

I have the FET quick release and I love the profile of it, its of good quality as well however as with I think any quick release, figuring out the horn is the largest PITA!!! Unless someone knows an easier way... If anyone wants pics let me know. I have it mated with a momo hub and a generic wheel.
