All bearings are from world renowned manufacturers to ensure the highest quality. Also every hub shell and axle are produced in their Barnoldswick factory and checked and inspected to the highest degree.
The hub shell is CNC machined in Barnoldswick, England from a single forged billet of 2014-T6 aluminium and uses a 7075 aluminium cassette body. Both these are now machined to allow fitting of the new generation of 11 speed cassettes from Shimano, but still allow for use of 9 and 10 speed Shimano and Sram cassettes by means of a removable spacer. Hubs are also available to suit Campagnolo 9, 10 and 11 speed cassettes. The hub is also fitted with our new 40 tooth ratchet with 4 pawl engagement, giving a quick, dependable drive.
CeramicSpeed aluminium alloy pulley wheels are specially designed to reduce friction to an absolute minimum, virtually eliminating the drag associated with standard pulley wheels. The special design helps guide the chain in its ideal line and perform super smooth shifting.
