Indeed, not worth the risk buying an old one that will spine out on you in 15 minutes..... Considering the engineering involved in changing the farking thing!

i completely agree with that tho, i was just hoping someone with a take off "like new" would chime in and save me some bucks,

now if i can get a good opinion on steel hub vs aluminum i'd be good
