    It seems like there isn’t a place to write product reviews, but for anyone looking for a new front hub, the Cinema FX is the way to go. That thing holds up to the heaviest nosedive grinds 😂 and it runs smooth for ages. I’ve had mine for 2 months now, I grind on it every day, and it runs mint smooth. Plus, Cinema have added it to Garrett Reynolds and Chad Kerley’s personal wheelsets. Two of the best riders in the world are riding it, what more could you ask for?
