This front hub with a funny name does everything a reliable, serviceable, lightweight front hub should do and more. It spins very smoothly due to specially machined bearing bores and high quality precision sealed cartridge bearings. The axle is turned from high-strength 7075 aluminum, and is available in bolt-on and quick-release versions. Machined here in Chico, California to last a lifetime.

Product Story

This lightweight hub spins very smoothly due to its extremely high tolerance machined bearing bores (.0002″, that’s 8 times thinner than the thickness of a human hair!) and high quality user-adjustable sealed cartridge bearings. The hub shell design has been refined over years of production and real world abuse to be as light as possible while still withstanding the abuse that the biggest, most reckless riders can put it through.

The real star of the show might be the super-stiff, super-light, flex-free, interchangeable 7075 Alloy axle. Available in 2 configurations: Quick-Release and Bolt-On, it passes from dropout to dropout. We stock the FHUB in 28, 32 and 36 hole spoke counts.

Fresh bearings and axle conversion kits are available for hub overhauls and rebuilds in the Hub Service Parts section.

Made with pride in Chico, California.

We didn’t say the #CascadeCougar would be a “re-cr We didn’t say the #CascadeCougar would be a “re-creation” of Mr Paul’s old Salsa, we said it would be INSPIRED by it, and @blackcatbicycles was definitely inspired! This painstaking geometrically masked rainbow fade with chrome lettering was finished with a clearcoat and well, just WAIT until you see this thing dipped in polished parts! ✨🤩✨As for the last pic… we’ll take bad photoshop over A.I. any day of the week. 😂 Thanks for the photos @mybucketsgottaholeinit 📷
Our friends at @wolf_tooth_comp sweetened the pot Our friends at @wolf_tooth_comp sweetened the pot by sending over a pair of sweet Waveform pedals for the #CascadeCougar Oakridge Trails fundraiser project. These puppies come in two sizes, 9 different colors, and are 100% user serviceable. The question is… will we really have this bike built in time for the @made.bike show this weekend?!
It can be a little tricky building up a drop-bar b It can be a little tricky building up a drop-bar bike with super wide-range 1X mountain bike gearing using cable actuated disk brakes like our Klampers, but one solution is to throw a @ratiotechnology 12-speed adapter into a SRAM 11-speed “brifter”. Modrone was generous enough to send us this SICK Jab rear derailleur that’s configured specifically for the #CascadeCougar, with a barrel-adjuster and Ratio specific throw. These derailleurs are fully rebuildable, re-configurable, CNC machined, and feature adjustable linkage springs and clutches. Very badass, thanks @madronecycles!
Whew! Our friends at @astralcycling up in Eugene O Whew! Our friends at @astralcycling up in Eugene Oregon hand-laced us these beautiful silver Serpentine wheels for the #CascadeCougar. Both rims are offset for more even spoke tension, we’ve got those Cali-made @whiteind hubs, and some jazzy oil-slick decals🌈. Reminder: we’ll be raffling this bike off to raise money for @oakridgetrailsalliance , so all these top shelf components could end up in YOUR stable!😎
What would you call this ano colorway?! Blueberry What would you call this ano colorway?! Blueberry Acid Trip? BTCHN’ Bikes was generous enough to donate these insane titanium handlebars to the #CascadeCougar project. Made right here in Chico! Wait till you see how these tie into the paint… 👀
When it came time to pick a headset for the #Casca When it came time to pick a headset for the #CascadeCougar, you know we had to reach out to our friends at White Industries. Their engraved logos pair so well with our parts aesthetically, they’re machined in California, have a split crown-race for easy installation, and use recycled/able packaging. Man, this bike is gonna be DIPPED! 🤩
