The two contenders for the spinning arm design. Both are vastly
lighter
than the bicycle hub (and much less expensive too). A penny is
under the
shaft on the right for comparison. The black hub unfortunately
doesn't
provide free rotation along the bolt shaft axis. This would mean
the arm
would experience friction when a load was placed along the length of
the arm axis. This is unacceptable. The bearing shaft on
the left has a
nut and two bolts. It has no friction along the bolt axis, and
seems overall
to be more durable. It's also off the shelf at most hardware
stores for
about $5.00.
