Mark,

Are you talking about Kang's carbon tube hub? I wasn't aware that Treger
ever used pultruded tubes for the main hub part; all Treger's hubs are
fiberglass. On the fiberglass tubes that I have made, which are .074" ID,
the tubes come out at 3-4 mg/cm. The weights for the 1/16" ID square center
portion are similar at about 4 mg/cm. The balsa core is added later.
