wide front hubs

First there was only the Paul Whub to chose from for my wide forks. Now Phil Wood is also making a 135mm front hub with wide and equal flange spacing.

It has very large flanges, 84.5mm.

Wheel strength and stiffness is greatly improved with the wide and equal flange spacing. I don’t think I will ever […]
