Sweet wheels, you'll love those CK hubs.....just be sure to check the bearing play for the first few rides. I think I had to adjust mine about 3 or 4 times when they were new.
BTW: What are you doing with your old wheels? Bdee may be interested in buying them if you want to sell them!

Check out the wheels, their on ebay now. I'll sell them to Bret cheap if he wants, since he's in our mtb community and i wont have to deal w/ shipping.

I got to give you fair warning though, that oversized Specialized hub really blows...the skewer is damn unreliable, and a straight bitch to get off after you ride...

Yeah he knows all about the Skraxle, he has an enduro also. He's looking for a wheelset for his hardtail to change to disc brakes. I'll have him get in contact with you.

You'll actually be able to rock the wheel side to side slightly when the bearings are loose. Just use 2 5mm allen wrenches and then tighten the cone with your fingers and just barely back it off. Looks like you already found the info, so you'll be set.
