What makes your hub better than, or stand out from other hubs out there?
“While more than a few companies offer an inbound axle, The GSport hubs were the original. Usually the inbound axle is an after-thought modification to standard cassettes. That is why many are 3/8″, because that’s all you can fit in standard bearing. The Ratchet is designed from the ground up with a 20mm aluminum axle and larger durable bearings. That’s why it can still have 14mm inbound axles and still be as strong as possible. The square tooth Ratchet cog is GSport specific, and we hold the patent on that design. It’s what makes the same hub able to go from LHD to RHD by just switching the pawl/spring direction. No extra parts necessary.” – Jim Bauer, GSport
