I need to buy a new front hub for my p125x and came across AEspares who make a brand new hub. Has anyone used their parts before? Are they good quality and safe?

Thanks!

I just bought a center stand for the Stella from AESpares. The build quality of the kit seems to be ok, but I haven't been able to install it yet because the seller failed to send all of the parts. I don't know if this is on AE or the seller, VintageInternational. They say they will be shipping me the missing bits, so I am waiting.

Their business is Angiras Exim Pvt Limited. Their address is A90, Rampuri, Block A, Rampuri, Surya Nagar, Ghaziabad. So north India. In business since 2017.

I don't see a LOT of reviews. Through Walmart they are getting two of five stars. I see a lot of their stuff on eBay all with 90% or higher ratings.

Let us know what you decide.

Indian crap and missing the bearings, seal and gear drive. Even the moderate quality F.A. drum will be far better than this…

I'm replacing my existing front hub that has a broken stud so I have bearings, seal, and gear drive I can re-use. If I should replace any of those please let me know.

I also realized this AEspares part is meant for 20mm axle but I have a 16mm.

Any of these worthwhile?

Why not just change the broken stud?

I can't get it out. Been trying for 2 years now and it won't budge no matter what.

I ended up ordering a new front hub with seals and bearings installed from Scooter Mercato rather than any of the others. I doubt I would've gotten the AEspares part even if it were the correct one, since this was cheaper and has bearing and seals already installed.
