Frequently Asked Questions

Why are sealed cartridge bearing hubs better than loose-ball hubs?

Sealed bearings keep out water, dust, and mud, providing whisper-smooth rolling resistance and zero maintenance for thousands of kilometers.

What is the standard front hub axle width on electric cycles?

Standard commuter e-bikes use 100mm quick-release front hubs, while fat tyre bicycles use 135mm extra-wide front hubs.

How do I maintain sealed wheel hubs?

Wipe the outer seals clean during washes and inspect for axle play every 6 months. Sealed cartridges never need loose ball repacking.
