FlyBikes Front Hub
Everyone has probably already seen the prototype and hated Flybikes for
taking so long again- they are sorry for it and already sent the hub to
all distributers.
It will probably take another 4 weeks until the containers reach Europe.
Technically the hub is very hot and seems perfect. The flanges are very
small to save weight, but, of course, the spokes will have to be
longer, which will add weight again. The distance between the flanges
is bigger to increase the lacing strength.
The axle as well as the hub body are made of 7075 aluminum. The axle is
an one piece design which makes assembling and disassembling easier; it
also saves weight. Well, it weights 210g which is absolutely OK for a
hub that looks that trustworthy.
