We use cartridge bearings with weather-resistant seals on most of our hubs. Race hubs are designed with Cyclocross in mind and have improved, double-bearing seals for added protection.
Our bearing preloads are set from the factory; there is no need to adjust them. Our sealed cartridge-bearing hubs include an internal cam quick release.
lf your bearings are submerged in water, pressure washed or otherwise waterlogged, have them serviced or replaced by a professional mechanic.
Mountain bike technology is evolving quickly, with at least three common front wheel axle standards and two common rear-wheel axle standards. Our convertible hubs will remain compatible as technology evolves.
Convertible Disc front hubs include all necessary parts to switch between 9mm quick release, 12mm thru-axle, and 15mm thru-axle standards. Choose from Shimano or XD Drivers.
Our convertible hubs are available in 100mm front and 135/142mm rear, 110mm front and 142mm rear for Boost spacing, 157mm rear for Super Boost, or 150mm front and 170/177mm rear or 197/190mm for fat bikes.
Convertible mountain disc hubs do not convert between mountain rear and boost or boost and super boost.
Our KT Dynamo hubs are available with end cap configurations to change compatibility between 100 QR, or 12 or 15 thru-axle. The disc hubs are available in 6-bolt or center lock for rim and disc. They come in black or silver.
We can build any rim up with a Dynamo hub. This adds $90 MSRP for a road hub, $150 MSRP for a disc QR or thru-axle hub, and $170 MSRP for a boost front hub. These are also available for purchase individually at $170/$262/$312 MSRP.
Cassette body pawls transfer your power to the ground. They should be inspected and lubricated once a year or more depending on use and environment.
Our front hubs are designed to facilitate radial lacing when appropriate.
