Description
Get ready for an incredible cycling experience with Race Face's Vault hub. It's now available for custom wheel builds, offering both Boost and non-Boost options, multiple axle standards, and the choice of Shimano or XD cassette bodies. The oversized hub shell enhances torsional and lateral stiffness. The 6902 bearings, known for their large ball diameter and durability, are a great choice. A 60-tooth drive ring works with six double tooth pawls, providing 3° engagement for almost instant power transfer. The wide bearing placement reduces the load on the bearings, extending their lifespan. Low-drag labyrinth seals protect the internals. With tool-free endcap swaps, this hub not only moves quickly but also adapts easily. It's J-Bend spoke compatible, has 6 pawls with 2 teeth each, 120 points for 3° of engagement, and tool-free end caps. Built for XC/Trail/Enduro/DH. Rear hub options include 12X148 BOOST, 12X150, 12X157, 12X142, 12X135, 10X135QR. It weighs 305 grams at the rear.
Using this Race Face hub is easy. First, choose the right axle standard and cassette body for your bike. Install it on your custom wheel build according to the standard bike hub installation process. When riding, you'll notice the quick power transfer, which will give you a great cycling feel. As for maintenance, regularly check the labyrinth seals to make sure they're in good condition. Clean the hub with a mild cleaner and dry it thoroughly. Avoid getting the hub in contact with excessive water or dirt. If you need to change the end caps, it's a tool-free process, so you can do it quickly. Also, keep an eye on the bearing load and if you notice any unusual noises or reduced performance, it might be time to have the bearings checked. With proper care, this hub will serve you well for a long time.
