Bitex has been quietly making super nice hubs for years. These hubs are startilingly affordable, considering the quality: same bearings (enduro sealed) and bearing count that White Industries uses. Cold forged hub shells, which is the strongest and least wasteful way to make a hub shell. Replaceable and available freehub bodies. The freehub body it comes with is serviceable with 2 allen keys or two cone wrenches, depending on what axle standard you have. Aluminum freehub bodies are light weight, but usually hot garbage. The Bitex hub features small steel plates on the freehub’s splines, which keep the cassette from biting into the soft aluminum freehub. Chris King and Industry 9 could learn something from that…
6 pairs of pawls for a total of 12 pawls, with 48 teeth. That makes for fast engagement.
You can adapt the rear hubs for 142mm thru axles or 135mm QR axles, Shimano or SRAM XD drivers. You can adapt the front hubs for 9mm, 12, 15 or 20mm axles. Pretty rad! They come in a handful of good colors: black, silver, blue, lime green. Contact us to get the right ones on order or to start the wheel building process.
