need some help with spinergys

randomryan007 · 04-12-2012, 06:11 PM

so here's the deal guys. I have a set of spinergy spox's and now I have and opportunity to go to the spinergy Lx's. so my question is a: whats the hub differences? b: whats the weight differnces? both of the spinergys are everyday wheels. both have natrual fits. can someone please explain this to me. all I know is that the LX is lighter than the spox. and easier to reach through.

I wish spinergys website was more detailed.

is there a difference in hub size?

nia adha · 04-12-2012, 06:52 PM

i think they both used 1.87" hub, so i dont think theres any hub difference...

SPOX are offered in both wide and narrow hub models. There's a 0.43" difference in width between the two models.

If your SPOX have the narrow hubs, which is likely on an everyday chair, you'll be fine.

Unless they are the Quickie version. Check the inside bearing recess to know for certain. They appear identical in width looking from the outside.

Huh. I learn something new every day.

ok so if they aren't the quickie version? does it make a huge difference?

evee · 04-12-2012, 08:58 PM

when i was there we tried both wheels the only ting i noticed is that if you have a quickie axle is to long for one hub not sure the size so if worse came to worse you would have to get a shorter axle ? i believe that is on the .187?
