Hi everyone, does anyone know whether wheel spindles need to be made of high speed steel (HSS) ? Many thanks

If you're referring to wheel axles, then no. Regular ole medium carbon steel is just fine.

Hell, even 4140 is overkill for a stock XS400 axle.

but you're right its overkill on these little bikesPosted via Mobile
