Clone Hubs… How are they made?
Ever wondered how a BMX hub is made? Well wonder no more !! 99% of high end BMX hubs are made the following way…
Start with a solid rod of alloy material & place it in the 20,000 tonne cold press.
Press the ‘go’ button & within 2 seconds you have the basic shape of a cassette hub.
The hub shell is then machined down to its finished shape & the axle & hardware assembled into the shell.
Done, easy as that. Well, not that easily done. Cassette hubs have so many intricate parts & need to be made to exacting tolerances that they are actually a difficult part to make. But worth all that extra work in the end for our bikes & how they ride.
Yo yo !!
