What do they mean by their web page statement "you also get virtually
unbreakable cushion hubs and the strongest in the industry" ???

I think that would worry me a little.

(I've always counted on my hub, since the days of shear pins, to
sacrifice themselves for the protection of my drive train parts &
pieces)

They use a traditional rubber hub. I would guess they are compareing
them to the plastic core types. They are suppose to break free on a hard
strike. Last year I "tapped" one on the top of a submerged tree - on my
part of lake Hartwell there are alot of and bent one of the blades on a
aluminum wheel. Not hard enough to spin the hub. It just folded the
lower edge.
