Measure before you buy
Check the bearing housings and the brake drum before you order anything for a hub. A drum skimmed past its limit, or a housing that no longer holds a bearing tight, turns a modest rebuild into money spent twice. The spoke flanges deserve the same attention, since cracks spread from the nipple holes and hide under old paint. Note as well whether yours is a quickly detachable rear hub or a fixed one, because the internals are not the same and neither are the parts.
Hub components we carry
- Bearings and seals: wheel bearings, distance pieces, grease seals
- Brake side: brake plates, shoes, springs, cams and operating levers
- Drive side: sprockets, cush drive rubbers, retaining hardware
- Spokes and nipples: spoke sets and individual replacements where we hold them
Tell us the machine, not the part number
Hub parts were shared across models and marques more freely than almost anything else on a classic bike. Give us the machine and the figures you have measured, and we will say which of our listings suits it. If you are lacing to a rim size other than standard, mention that before the spokes are ordered.
