So I could be the boy you couldn't be
have the father you didn't get to see
have the youth you did not get to live
or feel the love this world forgot to give.
And for this gift I don't deserve to get
I'll make damn sure I earn this.

i've found female hubs more reliable. the bolt inside the hub creates more thread contact, allowing a better hold than a regular nut on an axle. strength wise, they're fairly hard to break. aslong as you get grade 8 bolts (or the bolts that come with g-sport hubs, 3/8x24tpi bolts) you be just fine.

Ive been running the fly front hub with female bolts with 4 pegs for a little over a month and they seem to be holding up alright

i'd do something like a marmoset laced to a 7K-A if money isn't an object or you want it to last. otherwise i'd do a WTP supreme, proper, or vandero to a hazard lite. and make sure you have hub guards!

I have the Gsport Monkey in front, the female version of a 3/8 and it has handled me for almost a year, I weigh 215 ish. I've done toothpick stalls on it, doesn't seem even bent.

not all alianation rims are trash. I have been riding an blacksheep rim in the back for quite awhile and its held up way better than I thought it would.
