Stocker type hubs will still loosen up,i make my own washers to shim out when i run out of tread.

I run a nylon washer the the nut and pin works well have to change about every 5 races.

It's a durablue axle and stock hubs.The nuts are not coming loose.Is there an aftermarket hub for these little bikes?

If someone like Lonestar would produce a hub they'd get paid!
Sure wish DRR would step up like Apex on this.

red gel lock tite is what we use on all our race bikes ! Sprockets, hubs, you name it don't want any thing to come lose.

Put lock tite on the splines and then slide the hub over it?

The stock hubs just seam to wear out so the nut has to be thightend every so often,hence the shim when you run out of tread on older Apex axels.Hopefully the hubs on our new Apex will be better.You can get a glance of them in the link.

YES I do that on all of our race bikes it's a Harley trick to keep from stripping splines!
