ABSTRACT:
A wheel hub for a bicycle wheel has a hub shell for receiving spokes of the wheel and a sprocket body receives the sprockets. The wheel hub and the sprocket body are connected through a free-wheel clutch. The roller bearings of the sprocket body are freely axially displaceable on the axle. An end member of the hub is screwed onto the sprocket-side end of the axle and acts as a locking device for pressing the sprocket body against the hub shell. To access the clutch and for disassembling the hub, the end member can be screwed off and the sprocket body can be pulled off the axle by hand. This simplifies assembly, disassembly and maintenance of the hub.
