FHub

This front hub with a funny name does everything a reliable, serviceable, lightweight front hub should do and more. It spins very smoothly due to specially machined bearing bores and high quality precision sealed cartridge bearings. The axle is turned from high-strength 7075 aluminum, and is available in bolt-on and quick-release versions. Machined here in Chico, California to last a lifetime.

$127.00 – $140.00

Product Story

This lightweight hub spins very smoothly due to its extremely high tolerance machined bearing bores (.0002″, that’s 8 times thinner than the thickness of a human hair!) and high quality user-adjustable sealed cartridge bearings. The hub shell design has been refined over years of production and real world abuse to be as light as possible while still withstanding the abuse that the biggest, most reckless riders can put it through.

The real star of the show might be the super-stiff, super-light, flex-free, interchangeable 7075 Alloy axle. Available in 2 configurations: Quick-Release and Bolt-On, it passes from dropout to dropout. We stock the FHUB in 28, 32 and 36 hole spoke counts.

Fresh bearings and axle conversion kits are available for hub overhauls and rebuilds in the Hub Service Parts section.

Made with pride in Chico, California.

Should we bring back #FixtureFriday ? Before you c Should we bring back #FixtureFriday ? Before you can make all the parts, you have to make all the fixtures, and these aren’t something you can buy off a shelf! All of our production and assembly fixtures are one-offs made by Paul or Patrick or Jacob in the manual machine shop (although Jacob just made our first ever 3D printed fixtures, but that’s a story for a different Friday 😉). 
  This fixture is for pressing the little sealed cartridge-bearings into our Canti and Love levers. Once mounted in an arbor press, a little magnet holds the bearing until you press-fit it into the lever blade with a pull on the arbor press. In theory these bearings could be replaced down the line, but we haven’t had to do it yet. Thank you for attending our Ted Talk, happy Friday! ✌️
