MXR Sealed Hubs
StillFive
"Here's a real success story - 16-year-old Brian MOses, not the fastes racer in the world but stoked on BMX and very innovative, decided to use his sources to make a precision hub. He made two pairs - one for himself and one for friend Danny Millwee. Thus, it got in the mags. Soon after, the demands started puring in from all over the country. Now, only a year later, Moses and MXR have sold many top quality hubs. Sure, they might be expensive, but they're worth it!" ~ BMX Action, May 1988.
Supposedly 100 sets of Pro Model hubs and 25 sets of Mini Model hubs were produced. In 1987/88 they retailed for $390 per set. The equivalent Hutch Magnesium hubs were retailing for $110 per set.
