SHHHH. Dont tell anyone about these. They are top secret.

LOL, and the first gear works with standard 48 pitch pinions and is a direct fit for the Berg. HMMM

so your saying that those gears are a fit for the Berg axles?

hey

All gears are the same except the first gear, it is cut so you can use a standard 48p pinion.

I am a little concerned about the amount of noise that 04' Rubicons HR axles make. I hope they sound better after he adds some more lube.

Hey there

I have some new HR axles on my bench. The first gear is 48 pitch. But the first gear will not work with a Berg 2nd gear. To get 48 pitch in the Berg you must change the first gear, the scecond gear and a bearing.

The shaft on the 2nd gear on HR is smaller, just on one side. I will see how tough these are, I am putting the HR gears into my Super build in Berg axles. I am doing this because I can get a greater gear reduction with 48 pitch vs 48 metric.

Thanks for the info, let us know how they hold up this gear switch may be in my near future.

Berg sv HR axles

I have had both axles long enough to offer an opinion on them now.

- the Bergs are better built then the HRs. The fit is better, the tolerences are tighter

- the Bergs slide over rocks better, because of a poorly designed lower 4 link mount and too many 90 degree edges on the HRs

- the Berg requires metric pinions, the HRs take standard 48 pitch, both gear sets are amazing quality

- the center spool is Steel on the Berg and ALU on the HRs, the parts are interchangeable, so HRs should be upgraded

- Berg axles steer tighter, even with the RCP AX-10 knuckles on the HRs the Berg still turn tighter

- both drive shaft are very strong, the HRs can have the cross pin come loose

- CVDs are not available for either axle yet

- the HRs are narrower, which allows you to use AX-10 or TLT wheels, even with the VP narrow or DNA Berg offset wheels the Berg is still pretty wide, but wide is stable

- Berg axles are heavier then HRs

- price is about the same
