The
Velo Orange Grand Cru hubs are a labor of love, and it shows!
Velo Orange examined and tested 6 prototypes before being satisfied that this phenomenal hub was of the quality they set out to forge. Durable, reliable, serviceable, these are serious hubs for the serious long distance rider.
The sturdy CNC machined hub shell is
Velo Orange's own design, and the large flange design leaves room for 4 identical and large cartridge bearings. The high quality sealed Japanese bearings are a common size, and are easy to replace if they ever wear out.
The freehub body is steel for durability, and the 3 large pawls with sturdy springs are built to last.
