Spank Hex Rear Disc Hub HG 135/142mm 32H

The new Spank HEX DRIVE Hub from SPANK Industries brings you a high engagement (3.5°) hub with oversized bearings and advanced seal system for durability and low maintenance. Spank Industries has been at the leading edge in rim, handlebar, pedal and stem design for over a decade, investing significant time and energy in developing proprietary designs. Quality control, performance, and reliability matter so much to Spank that they established their own factory. Over the years, Spank invested in every detail in rim manufacturing, earning them a top-three position consistently for the past few years in leading industry and consumer polls for most wanted rim. The time had come to offer their customers a high performance and excellent value hub to complement the award-winning rims. The new HEX Drive rear hubs employ a huge ratchet ring with 102 teeth. Six independent pawls, each with 3 steps, work in unison to create 18 points of contact with the ratchet ring per click. The result is an almost instant pick-up of just 3.5º, with unparalleled security against slippage under torque. The benefit in riding terms: no unwanted lag in your crank between pedal strokes, more efficient pedaling on technical sections and climbs, quicker, almost constant power to the pedals, and the 18 points of contact result in higher strength and better reliability. A unique flange design on the hub reduces dish requirements on the wheel build, meaning that the spoke tension on the drive side and non-drive side of the wheel is more evenly matched than many other hub designs on the market today. The benefit for the rider comes in a more consistently tensioned, therefore stronger, wheel.
