8° c hubs and knuckles
 

Hello could someone tell me what the 8° c hubs and knuckles are for? What is 8° more or less on what?

Re: 8° c hubs and knuckles
 

8° is the caster or kingpin inclination. these are adjustable BTW.

I personally prefer more caster over less. Having more caster can aid in turning a little sharper and in cresting obstacles (while turning) as it allows you to use the sidewall of the tire a bit more.

The 8° hubs I've seen are for camber, not caster.

In theory it would be good for high speed handling in turns. I've only seen them on a few occasions so I'm not sure how many people actually use them, or real world if they help handling.

Wheels will tilt over when turning. C hub is slotted so it can be clocked (circled in red)
