Along with this hub... http://www.*************/item/Wheel-H...ore-260050-762
I 'm not sure about the axle from BMI but I know you get what you pay for. $20 for a axle is a real good price but it's still a $20 axle. The Azusa is double the price but it can handle the torque of a gy6 no problem! Never had one twist! I bent one but that was before I got it properly supported.
Those hubs? - see pic. I think it's the same BMI hub. I knocked out the studs and redrilled it for the sprocket gear! It didn't last long. The two pieces of metal in the foreground is the keystock sheared lengthways. The hub center split open. The axle was fine but the hub can't handle the torque.
