Are bike hubs universal?
Most hubs (except Shimano) have both types of hub bodies available so you can run either brand of cassette once you have the right cassette hub body. Campy hubs can be fitted with a Shimano/SRAM compatible cassette hub body.
Are all MTB hubs the same size?
The standard MTB rear axle dimensions are 135x5mm (for a QR rear hub) but jump and gravity bikes may use wider and thick axles for extra strength and stiffness, with the available sizes being 135×10, 142×12, 150×12, 157×12 and 165×12. Ensure your rear hub is the correct size to fit your frame.
Can you convert a QR hub to thru axle?
If it’s a front hub and your fork uses a QR, you can buy a new thru-axle hub and an adapter that lets you use a thru-axle hub in a QR fork. About $15 for the adapter. This will give a fractionally better bit of firmness, but primarily, if you change your fork down the road, you can get one with thru-axle.
How do I know my hub size?
Hub Flange Diameter – The distance across the hub’s flange from hole to hole….Here’s how to measure these distances:
- Figure out the distance between the lock nuts (where the hub sits in the dropouts) – 100 or 110 mm is typical for the front.
- Take that number and divide by 2.
- Then measure from the flange to the lock nut.
How do I know if my free hub is compatible?
A good way to check compatibility is to see how many teeth your Sram cassette has. If the smallest cog is 10T, it should use an XD-style freehub, but if it’s 11T then it likely uses a Shimano HG freehub. Campagnolo freehubs are compatible only with Campagnolo cassettes.
Can I fit any freehub?
freehub standard accepts only XD cassettes. There are 10, 11 and 12 speed cassette versions (same XD freehub body). Many wheel and hub manufacturers make XD compatible freehub bodies that can be screwed onto the hub instead of the old Shimano compatible freehub.
