Cheap track hub

amaferanga

I'm after a cheap rear track hub, but such a thing does not appear to exist. When I say cheap I mean less than £20. Don't want anything bling, just a functioning hub with reasonable seals for my commuting bike.

I think you'll struggle to get one for less than £20. On-one do a cheap hub but I think it's £30. You can get some good deals on Miche hubs at the moment but again, they'll be £30 or so.

best prices ones are the halo ones, i think hubjub has them for £35, or my lbs had systemEx ones for about £20, well sealed but cup and cone rather than cartridge.

If you phone them up i'm sure they'd post some to you, WSC

I'd go for the On One. I've got one on my commuter, really nice for the money.

Formula / System Ex / Ambrosio / Planet-X plus others are the same hub with sealed cartridge bearings - about £50/pr are about as cheap / robust as you could get. There may be cheaper ones out there but probably won't last as long.

If simply want a CHEAP fixed, then the answer is a screw on 126 OLN hub for 5/6 speed. "Screw" on a fixed sprocket (and a b/b lockring if you feel so inclined). Re-space down to 120.
Should pick one up for a tenner on th'bay. Old Maillards OK IMO/E.

Thanks for the ideas. I'm gonna stick with single speed for now as even the £10 hub would lead to me spending £40 plus by the time I got spokes, sprocket, lockring and nuts. This bike was supposed to be cheap and I've spent almost £100 tinkering already...

Any manky old mtb will have a screw on hub. Respace it and away you go. I buy pairs of old racing wheels complete with tubs and something like record screw on hubs for 10 or 20 quid at trad bike shops.
