Internal Friction 

<<Of course the pinnacle of these hubs is their outstanding efficiency, they outperform any rear hub on the market today!>>

Internal Friction 
 

Conventional systems the pawl is constantly pressed up against the ratchet ring via a spring, when grease is added the grease tends to be squished out from between these two parts as the hub turns in freewheel, this will happen regardless!  ultimately causing bare metal to rub against each other, this actually starts to happen from the first time you go out on your new wheels and there is no way for the grease to work its way back and lubricate these two surfaces. With our hub design the system does not rely on the grease to provide lubrication to these two surfaces as they have almost no friction, we may use specific Teflon lubrication or a very light grease within the hub mechanism but only for the retention of corrosion. 
 

As we are eliminating friction between these two surfaces you also eliminate wear and tear on those internal parts so our hubs need less servicing in this area and subsequently have a higher longevity. 

​

Of course the pinnacle of these hubs is their outstanding efficiency, they outperform any rear hub on the market today! 

Just to put into prospective we tested our prototype on a 19mm wide 24 mm deep rim equipped with high grade ceramic bearings and standard round spokes rolled down from 30 km/hr to a complete stop 4 times longer than the competition. This is far superior when it comes to mechanical efficiency.
