Beginners will appreciate that it is the metal piece that slides onto the front axle so you can bolt the tire and wheel on securely. Racers who already know their way around a kart will like the short-length design that cuts unsprung weight while keeping full bearing support.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMade from aluminum and finished in black, the hub presses onto standard 17mm front wheel spindles. It comes with three pre-installed 8mm wheel studs ready for mounting. The 50mm width gives solid support under the side loads that come with hard cornering, and the whole assembly stays light so your front end responds quickly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"tip-block\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSafety Notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003eAlways torque wheel nuts to the kart manufacturer's recommended spec after mounting.
