Hello hello!<\/p>\n

Samba here from Blue Lug Yoyogi Park.<\/p>\n

Today, we\u2019ve got a new product from FAIRWEATHER to introduce!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Headsets, bottom brackets, hubs… all those spinning parts that are essential to a bicycle.<\/p>\n

They\u2019re constantly under load whenever you\u2019re riding, so naturally, they\u2019re also parts that a lot of us want to spend a little extra money on.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m definitely guilty of building dream bikes in my head: \u201cI want Phil hubs… maybe White Industries for the headset… or Chris King would be nice too…\u201d You know how it goes.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, reality isn\u2019t always so kind, and I\u2019m constantly weighing those dream builds against what\u2019s actually in my wallet.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

When putting together a new bike, one of the bigger chunks of the budget usually goes toward the wheels \u2014 which means hubs and rims.<\/p>\n

So I\u2019d been wondering if there was a hub out there that does everything you need it to do, looks good, and still keeps the cost reasonable.<\/p>\n

Well, here it is!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

FAIRWEATHER ALL ROAD HUB<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The hub shell is an original design made to strike a good balance between strength and weight.<\/p>\n

One of my favorite details is the shape of the non-drive-side flange. I\u2019ve secretly been calling it \u201cthe Harvest!\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Inside are four sealed bearings.<\/p>\n

Since the rotating parts of the bearings are sealed off from the outside, they\u2019re better protected against water and dirt, helping them stay smooth for a long time.<\/p>\n
