If you need more grip, screwing/riveting on some roughtop is solid too. The wheel is so cheap even if it is just a hub in that application.

TL,DR; I like 'em.
I like 'em, too.

Adam, how would you compare the AndyMark Stealth 4" (AM-2647) vs. the recently introduced VexPro Colson 4" (217-4049)? To me, the Colson looks a little better for CoF and hub material/structure. The Stealth costs less, is about 8% lighter and has a sprocket mounting pattern. Overall, I like the Stealth as an intake component, but would prefer the Colson in a drivetrain. Do you agree?

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
