Stock tri-hub 7000km? no 4th wheel kit or anything?...

7000km Stock tri-hub whit oem 4th wheel kit from the beginning .
Seriously they did not even need grease but i changed them anyway....
Almost 20 000km whit AC or fake YAM sled, many different problems never whit the tri-hub whit 4th wheel kit

I was considering JT wheel kit but i think it will not fit whit racewrex rapid block. Maybe i am wrong

They don't let go till around 5k miles. Most sidewinders aren't there yet. The bearings are now replaceable but it's still a bad design.

What is bad on the desing?
except for the small 6004. For sure i would like 6205 but i don't see any problem whit desing

If one bearing goes bad it takes the whole rear end out. If it came with 3 wheels like every other sled in the universe it wouldn't be an issue. Also a chunk of ice going through there can break them. It's just a dumb place to try to shave a few pounds.

When the time comes to grease the tri-hub brgs. Which grease high or low temp? Sorry if it's a stupid question.

Is 1.75" ok for track tension?

Is 1.75" ok for track tension?

2" is the spec at 20LB, I think you would be ok at 1.75"

Slide wear isnt much of an issue on these so a little tighter doesnt hurt.
