^You mean don't use them on a rough surface? Swop to heavier duty wheels off track? That's the plan.
Actually I've seen a pair of sprint wheel carriers for sale, but I think for less money I can make myself a nicer pair.
I have just ordered the hubs. Mack says radial is ok and suggests a maximum tension of 120kgf. That should be enough. I don't know why Planet-X described the tension with kgf-cm.
The next thing to think about is internal nipples and a tool to turn them.
