Rear hubs made by RAMP.
I seem to remember reading that these are sh1t and should be avoided.
Just discovered one on a mate's scooter. Time to replace it?

Mine was sh1t because it wasn't round and didn't sit on the splines correctly. If your mate's fits ok and the brakes work then I'd leave it.

Thanks for the replies fellas.
Lots of bad reports on the other site as well.
I'm going to destroy the RAMP hub so it can't be used and fit a new one.

you could use it as a hub skimming tool just super glue some coarse emery paper about 15 cm long and rotate by hand slowly tightening the adjuster it scims the high spots or in my case 1 mm of the whole of the bottom shoe due to it being an indian case

problem is that they come without cone.
its not possible to find a correct cone as noone will fit properly.
they have to be machined specially.
apart from that the quality seems to be unsatisfying on a great percentage.
just talked to a scootershop-owner and he said the binned all 20 of them.
i just bought one from ebay, i will bin it and keep the studs.
