Tom,

How do the hinges stay on the shaft? Is it the wire that go through the torque arm? I would think the centrafugial force of the blades would force the hinges off of the shaft.

Thanks,

Lauren

The carbon tubes are polished with a glass polish and lubricated with a very small amount of Moebius clock oil. Added 3 more photos of the original Pennyplane hub to the album.
