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. |

Thats not the case with the bully II My Bully II has them  Wheels will tilt over when turning. C hub is slotted so it can be clocked (circled in red)  |
