ABSTRACT:
A hub includes an axle. Each end of the axle has an annular groove and a longitudinal groove. A dust cap, two bearings and a cone are provided on each end of the axle. A clamping ring has a key extending inwards for engaging with the longitudinal groove of the axle. The clamping ring is tapered from an outer peripheral edge toward a center so that the clamping ring is resilient. A lock ring is engaged with each annular groove. The clamping rings stably retain the axle in place so that the axle do not move laterally.
