Hub




The hub is of the double row angular contact bearing type. It is designed so that the part of the hub which is in contact with the brake disc forms the hubs inner ring. The part of the hub which is in contact with the stub axle forms the hub outer ring. No tightening is necessary during servicing. The hub is completely maintenance free.
