Splined Hubs
Option 1
Please contact us:
RSK469 – Front Left
RSK468 – Front Right
RSK471 – Rear Left
RSK470 – Rear Right
Integral fitting hubs so no nuts necessary

XW5726/XW5794: Due to the positioning of the centre in relation to the rim you will require an extra-deep wooden spinner saver
Click here for advice on how tight to apply spinners.
Due to the design of the centre of the XW5768 this three-eared spinner is not the best fit for this wheel. It is still safe to fit these spinners, however, we would recommend using the two-eared spinners.
We recommend using our copper and hide hammer to tighten/loosen the knock-on caps (spinners).
