| Clocking the "C" hubs.
I see a lot of guys "clocking their front hubs. First off let me say I have searched (clocking). Weeding thru all the BS and not describing what I need is such a waste. Anyway. 1. Why clock the hubs? 2. Do you rotate the hubs forward - so you screw the hub into the axle in the rear slot OR do you rotate backwards and screw the hub into the front slot?? |

You want to clock them Backwards which will give you positive caster. It has to do with the turning characteristics of the steering geometry. If you do a search for caster you will get better results. Here is a quick summary that explains the basics: Caster, Camber, Toe scroll down to "the effects of caster" & it will help you understand a bit. Last edited by Illeagle; 12-10-2011 at 10:16 PM. |

I stand (sitting actually) corrected. It IS positive caster and I edited my reply. Thanks for pointing that out. |
