    Hawx has a tighter heel, I had to get a bit more stretching done in the forefoot vs the cochise so it might be a tad narrower and it's lower volume over the arch...which I like because my arches are...

    This is the way.

    Emphasis on the no antiseize on studs but rather on the hub where the wheel meets it. White lithium grease will probably work fine, but it hardens up after a while.
