Mountain Bike Hubs & Spares FAQs

What types of mountain bike hubs are available?

Mountain bike hubs come in front and rear configurations, with rear hubs varying depending on drivetrain compatibility, axle type, and spacing standards. There are also sealed cartridge bearing hubs, traditional cup-and-cone designs, and options for disc or rim brakes, allowing riders to choose a hub that matches their riding style and bike setup.

How do I know when my MTB hub needs servicing?

Indicators that your mountain bike hub requires service include rough or gritty rotation, lateral play in the hub, unusual noises during spinning, or resistance when pedalling. Regular inspection is essential, particularly after muddy, wet, or aggressive trail rides.

What spares are available for mountain bike hubs?

BETD offers a wide range of hub spares, including replacement bearings, axle kits, freehub bodies, seals, and end caps. These parts allow you to refresh your hubs without replacing the entire wheel, helping to extend the lifespan of your components and maintain smooth operation.

Are your hub spares compatible with all MTB hub brands?

Our hub spares are compatible with a broad selection of mountain bike hubs,
including common and legacy models. Each spare part is clearly listed with compatible hub models, and our team can assist in confirming the correct fit for your bike if you’re unsure.

How often should I service my mountain bike hubs?

Service frequency depends on terrain and riding conditions. Aggressive or muddy trail riding may require servicing hubs every few rides, while moderate conditions allow for longer intervals. Regular cleaning, inspection, and lubrication help prevent premature wear and maintain performance.

Can I upgrade my mountain bike hub without replacing the whole wheel?

Yes, many mountain bike hubs allow for upgrades or replacements of bearings, freehubs, and axle kits independently. This means you can improve performance, switch to higher-quality components, or repair worn parts without needing a completely new wheel.

What is a freehub body and when should it be replaced?

The freehub body is part of the rear hub that engages with the cassette to drive the bike while allowing coasting. It should be replaced if it develops excessive play, damaged pawls, or rough engagement, as a faulty freehub can affect shifting performance and overall reliability.
