Compact Front Hub

in
Hub
1982

As a rim gets smaller in size, the bracing angle of the spokes changes. If you lace a standard 100 mm hub into a 20” or 16” rim, you end up with spoke bracing angles that are non-optimal, which results in a weaker wheel. To solve this problem, we pioneered the Compact narrow width front hub: optimized bracing angles result in wheels that are stronger than comparable 26” and 700c wheels.
