I know a local group of racers that is selling modded hubs that are "your" design am I suppose to tell them to give you a call and a pat on the back? I dont know who ruffled your feathers but my hubs came from J-Dub; therefore, they are called J-Dub hubs.
I dont have a problem with the 'J-DUB Hub'. it was on this forum and with the help of other users that i found J-DUB to do the mod in the states so you didnt have to pay me to ship them from the other side of the planet.
I'm just pissed that another company has now taken my idea and put it production without even knowing where the idea came from.
I contacted KH over 12 months ago with the 16mm hub idea and they said there was no market for it.
now they are selling it with no thanks to me. not even an offer of a free set.
that ruffled my feathers. im sure it would ruffle yours too
J-DUB does a great job and does it for next to nothing. KH charge you $70 for a product that costs them less than $10 to make. im sure if there $60 profit they could have found room to thank the guy that came up with the idea
anyway i dont mean to b!tch about it. it has just pissed me off that there are now 2 companies making a massive profit off it while J-DUB and I try to do the right thing and make it an affordable hopup for the average racer.
If it was your idea making someone else rich you would understand
