Why do I need it?
The 85 hubs from Boyd Cycling are a premier rim brake hub that offers lightweight, simplicity, quick engagement, and top of the line Enduro Abec 5 bearings.
Tool free service allows for easy cleaning and maintenance of the hub, resulting in a longer lasting and better performing hub. Wide flange spacing allows for better bracing angles and a stiffer overall wheel system.
The 85 hubs feature 36 teeth and 6 pawls that engage in a 3x3 manner. This gives an incredibly quick 5 degree engagement, so when you stomp on the pedals your bike instantly responds.
Oversized bearings give higher static loads, and better longevity of the bearings.
Bearing sizes are as follows
Front hub – 2X 6901
Rear hub – 2X 6902 in the hub shell; 2X MR15267 in the freehub body
