Bearings

We use only the highest quality bearing across our entire range of products. Our No. 1 hubs come with stainless steel bearings as standard, however ceramic bearings are also available on request. Ceramic bearings have higher strength and the increased hardness of the bearings will give a longer lifespan and superior corrosion resistance. The bearings also get faster with use.

The Devil Is In the Detail

The ÆRA No. 1 is a four-season hub that is designed and manufactured in the UK, home to some of the most demanding riding conditions. Combining style and durability in equal measure, the No. 1 hub is the ultimate bespoke build upgrade.

We use 28 spokes both front and back for added strength over mixed terrain. Our spoke holes are countersunk to allow the head of a Sapim CX-Ray spoke to sit flush to the surface of the flange, optimising aerodynamics and aesthetics.

Colours & Finishes

The hub colour can be chosen to compliment any bike build. We offer the ÆRA No. 1 hub in anodised Brevet Black or Baroudeur Blue finish or with an extra tough Brevet black ceramic coating featuring a gold Æ logo. Bespoke finishes are also available on request.

To complete your custom bike project why not match the No. 1 hub with our N0. 1 bottom bracket.
