The Velo Orange Rear Cassette Hub is specially designed for touring, randonneuring, and commuting in all weather conditions. The hub's high flanges allow room for large, sealed cartridge bearings so your hubs will be spinning happily for a long time.

The hub includes replaceable endcaps to convert between 130mm and 135mm spacing. The drive side endcaps are identical, while the non-drive side endcap for the 135mm set is 5mm longer, meaning that if you switch from one width to another, you'll likely have to have your wheel re-dished, slightly.

The freehub features a tool-free disassembly for maintenance or roadside driveside spoke replacement.

Available in Polished Silver and Smooth Noir finishes.

Here's a video discussing disassembly and reassembly of the rear hub for maintenance. Spoiler, it's super easy.

Good bearings, smooth, nice, but freehub is really stiff

I'm not concerned with shaving every gram, or eliminating every source of friction, etc. I don't use ceramic bearings or fancy headsets. I'm not that kind of person, so please don't think the following is hyperbole.

The freehub on this hub is really, really stiff. When I coast downhill I can feel and see the chain go slack from the resistance in the free hub. For years I rode on midgrade shimano deore hubs, with full labyrinth seals. I have had 2 or 3 of them, and never experienced resistance anything like this, even though they are super overkill sealed. So this is not just a case of me not knowing how weather-sealed hubs feel.
I've ridden this hub about 500 miles now, and I almost feel like they have gotten worse over time, rather than wearing in as I would expect.

As a side note, when I finally opened it up this morning, I saw that the freehub was full of white lithium grease in the pawls. I had noticed this when I first bought the hub, and I wiped as much of it off as I could, but it was seeping residual grease from under the pawls. I spayed it out completely and put in dumonde freehub oil, but it's still just so stiff! It's probably just my imagination, but I swear I can feel the drag when I'm riding...

Anyways, I actually do like these hubs, they certainly fill a niche. But I may not spring for these again, unless the seals finally loosen up in my next few hundred miles.

great looking hub

fitted to 650b rim looks fantastic

Hub

Not used yet. Customer service has been tops. Little concerned about alloy freehub but bought a whole 2nd hub so have back up.

Love This Product

Hello Velo,
I just bought this Hub and I really like it. However, it would be better if you provide a delivery service other than FedEx. It's because FedEx services in my country (Indonesia) is not good, customer call center is out of reached and very difficult to contact, this worries me a lot. Hopefully this can be a consideration by the VeloOrange team for us, especially in Indonesia. Thank you.

Best,
Dwi Widardo

Overall, this hub is great, and a nice upgrade from the previous version. I especially like that 130mm and 135mm endcaps are included. I was however very disappointed at the switch to an aluminum freehub body.
