Considering some Mack Hubs for my next wheel build but concerned about being able to tighten them sufficiently in the dropouts.
So far I've only used Dura Ace on all my wheels which have solid axles and nuts so I've been able to really lean on them and never had a wheel slip.
If anyone here uses any of the above hubs or similar I'd appreciate your thoughts...
Also; although it might not look so pretty, technically is there any reason not to replace the Allen bolt and aluminium washers supplied with the hubs for good old fashioned hex bolts and steel washers?
