Review on πŸ”§ Enhancing Wheel Performance: Discover Origin8 Cr-Mo Hub Axle Nuts by Larry Gaines

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Get Chrome and you'll be in good shape. Blacks quickly lose color.

These wheel nuts hold the wheel well. Too bad you can't look at black in isolation, because shiny chrome isn't the biggest problem. If you tighten them with a wrench at the dropouts, you'll knock their pants off. This happens on the first try so new installs look worse and worse if the paint is scraped off the nuts. My second issue (I knew there might be an issue before I bought them so I wouldn't take a star for that) is that the threads don't start at 4+mm in the nut. So if you have a short axle you may have trouble using the track nuts. I ended up having to install a longer axle into the hub to use these nuts. Like I said, I wouldn't go against the sprocket, but it's good to know if you haven't used chain nuts before.

Pros
  • Delivery was very fast
Cons
  • Functionality
