Q&A:
1. What is the advantage of a quick change hub?
A quick change hub allows the sprocket on Ducatis to be changed without removing the entire hub. Simply loosen chain tension, unbolt the outer sprocket and remove it. The carrier comes with the bolts to fasten the sprocket.
2. Will a lighter carrier make a performance difference?
Aftermarket carrriers are lighter. Lower weight means lower rotating mass, which means quicker acceleration. The difference won't be as pronounced as lightening the clutch, flywheel or switching to lightweight wheels, but there is a difference.
3. What are the advantages of the Slingshot hub over other hubs?
The Slingshot carrier has several features that make it a superior product - 1: tabs in the back of the cush drive wells to prevent the cush bolts from backing out 2: a superior fit and finish. Their design is identical to the Drive System/AFAM design.
3. Where can I find sprockets to fit the hub?
The hub comes with an AFAM quick-change sprocket. Specify tooth count and pitch (520 or 525) when ordering.
