Classic MTB

A classic wheel hub for a mountain bike usually uses a classic design with cones and is intended for rim brakes. Here is a description of the key features and characteristics of this hub:

  • Material: The hub is usually made of light and durable materials, such as aluminium alloy. This helps maintain strength while minimizing unnecessary weight.
  • Axle compatibility: Classic hubs are usually equipped with "quick-release" (QR) axles
  • Number of holes: For compatibility with most mountain bike rims, common numbers of holes on the spoke are 32 or 36.
  • Nut compatibility The nut is the part of the hub on which the cassette is installed, its body is designed to allow the installation of a suitable cassette with a specific number of gears.
  • Width of the hub: The width of the hub is an important factor and should correspond to the distance between the frame and fork of the bike. Common mountain bike hub widths are 100 mm front and 135mm rear for traditional QR axles.
When choosing a classic mountain bike hub, riders should consider factors such as compatibility, durability, weight, and ease of maintenance. In addition, it is recommended to choose a hub from a reputable manufacturer.
