David, looking at the picture of the hub in my previous post, do you think Trigo and Compomotive hubs come from the same vendor?

I'm thinking they both buy pins from one vendor and hubs from another vendor, but don't spec the parts. Thus the mis-match. Just a guess.
Not sure if the Compomotive and Trigos come from the same vendor. I would have to see them side by side.

As for the mis-match on tapers...I can think of no reason why anyone would make a 76 degree taper? It simply makes no sense to me. I think someone had a quality control issue.
