The new splined section looks much sorter, and the splines look like they might strip out with any sort of wear, i.e. the surface area in which they mate to the hub looks whimpier. The old one looks like the input shaft on a toploader... that is pretty tough!
I'm not an ME, so I cannot say for sure, but it just looks weaker to me. I would love to hear from an expert, since I am interested in persuing the outboard brakes...
Cobrarkc, did you go with the outboard system? |
