Re: old style locking hubs

The technique I used was let it spin lazily until you feel them engage. Not nail it until you feel them grenade. Same with the Gov-Loc. I never blew one of those either using the same technique. It's the trade-off for the convenience. I never looked at walking up to my front wheels and turning knobs as a hard thing to do anyway. I'm a manual kind of guy
