Thru axle - a removable axle with a threaded end that is inserted through a hole in one fork leg, through the hub, and then screwed into the other fork leg.(found on some single speed hubs, Cannondale Lefty hubs) bolt - the axle has a hole with threads cut into it and a bolt can be screwed into those threads.(often found on track, fixed gear, single speed, BMX and inexpensive bikes) Nut - the axle is threaded and protrudes past the sides of the fork/frame.Quick release - a lever and skewer that pass through a hollow axle designed to allow for installation and removal of the wheel without any tools (found on most modern road bikes and some mountain bikes).The axle is attached to dropouts on the fork or the frame. Hub shells can be one-piece with press-in cartridge or free bearings or, in the case of older designs, the flanges may be affixed to a separate hub shell.
The hub shell typically has two machined metal flanges to which spokes can be attached. It consists of an axle, bearings and a hub shell. A typical modern wheel has a metal hub, wire tension spokes and a metal or carbon fiber rim which holds a pneumatic rubber tire.Ī hub is the center part of a bicycle wheel. The first bicycle wheels followed the traditions of carriage building: a wooden hub, a fixed steel axle (the bearings were located in the fork ends), wooden spokes and a shrink fitted iron tire. The first wheel to use the tension in metal spokes was invented by Sir George Cayley to achieve lightness in his 1853 glider.
