Bike Hubs

Benefits of Changing Your Bike Wheel Hub

Do you need a bike wheel hub replacement or an upgrade? The answer is almost always yes. The humble hub affects your wheels’ rotational resistance, rigidity and weight, so there is a lot (literally) riding on it! Even just upgrading your bike front and rear wheel hub bearings will undoubtedly result in longer-lasting parts that you can more easily replace in isolation when required.

What Are Bike Wheel Hub Bearings?

Bike wheel hub bearings such as rings and rollers or balls bring bicycle wheels to life and enable them to move. They might appear small and insignificant, but their role is crucial to the hub’s friction-free movement and rotation.

Differences Between Road Bike Hub and Mountain Bike Hub

Typically, a road bike hub has narrower spacing compared to a mountain bike hub. As such, it’s important to choose the right hub for your frame spacing.

Normal Bike vs eBike Wheel Hubs

An eBike wheel hub differs from a standard bike hub. This is because, in pedal assist bikes, the motor is typically located in the front hub or rear axle (or it will have a mid-drive motor).
