36" Oracle hub failure

My second oracle 36er hub failed. I was hoping the first one was a fluke. For anyone ordering an oracle 36, go ahead and immediately order yourself a steel replacement hub. Honestly, it’s pathetic. I still have a 2010 nimbus 36er with a wide steel hub(that even has a little rust) running strong. I got maybe 2k-3k miles from each of these alum hubs. These hubs do not belong on this unicycle. Even my cotterless old 36er from 2006 lasted longer.

I really wish I had saw the free hub offer above 3 years ago lol
