They run pretty much the same price everywhere.

If you look at 3rd party upgrades, you could consider the M2C versions too, but they are about the same price.

They are on ebay for $60, prolly same at e stores as well....

Outtacontrol58 12-16-2010 05:11 PM

The stock front plastic hub carriers are fine; the only thing you should do is run a drill bit (15/64ths I think it is..) through to let it pivot more freely. The front steering knuckles are fine, although the FT aluminums are a nice upgrade :)

Personally, I would change the rear hubs to the FT ones though..they're just more reliabile.

by the term reliable, do you mean you are having a problem with them breaking?

Have I broke them, yes. Did I have them break regularly no, not at all. I can't say that I ever had one fail when it wasn't expected.
