New WTP hub!!!



A known concept, but together with some unique ideas form the new wethepeople hub. Not yet available as you'll gather from the CAD representations we're working on at the moment.

The skewer system is something that has been seen for long enough on many race orientated bikes (like the quick release system). A much longer thinner bolt that runs the full length of the hub shell and the bolt head pulls in and tightens using the force of the nut on the opposite side.

Creating a suitable head, and anti-rotation pin(same principal as on pegs) and an axle that can still handle pegs but remain hollow of course are just part of the design concept that we're bringing to this idea. The hub shell is a new design, different again from the current supreme and pi we designed in previous years the same way.
