Model Name |
|
What is this part called? Don't include position or spacing or axle type info unless it is part of the name used by the manufacturer. For Shimano hubs, lead with the series name (if applicable) and use the FH/HB prefix to the model number. For example: "Ultegra HB-6600" or "Deore XT FH-M775" |

Spoke Interface Type |
J-bend |
If this is incorrect, back up and start over from the appropriate submission form. |
Spacing |
mm |
QR hubs: use OLN spacing (not the overall axle length). Thru-axle hubs: use endcap-to-endcap spacing. Please enter the intended spacing even if the sample measured is slightly off. (for example: a hub that measures 134.82mm would be entered as 135mm) |
Axle Type |
|
This is the axle diameter that fits the dropouts. (Common QR hubs are 9mm front and 10mm rear, not the 5mm outside diameter of the skewer shaft.) For thru-axle hubs, this is the outside diameter of the thru-axle that fits the hub. |
Brake Type |
|
|
Drive Type |
|
For hubs that can accept multiple freehub body types, please choose the most common that makes sense. Eventually I would like hubs to be able to have multiple options selectable, but this is a ways off. Note that Shimano 11spd MOUNTAIN (Dyna-Sys 11spd) is the same thing as Shimano 8/9/10 (34.95mm). Shimano 11spd ROAD is the wider 36.75mm freehub body. |

Important note about the hub dimensions published on bike.shimano.com
Shimano publishes hub dimensions in a relatively confusing manner. If you are getting hub data from bike.shimano.com, these values need to be altered before being entered into FreeSpoke (or any other spoke calculator for that matter).
Shimano usually lists the actual physical outside diameter of the hub flanges as "Flange Diameter", which is the wording wheelbuilders frequently use to refer to the pitch circle diameter (PCD) of the spoke holes drilled in the hub flanges. Shimano lists the value we need as PCD, right next to the dangerously-named Flange Diameter values.
Shimano does not provide center-to-flange values. Instead, they provide the flange-to-flange spacing and the overall offset of the flanges as an assembly. Furthermore, their flange-to-flange spacing always seems to be the outside-to-outside spacing, rather than the center-to-center spacing wheelbuilders would be expecting.
The formula I use is [published flange-to-flange spacing] divided by two, plus or minus [overall offset], minus half of the [flange thickness at the spoke holes]. The larger number is typically the non-drive-side (or non-rotor-side) center-to-flange, and vice versa. I assume a flange thickness of 3mm to be plenty close enough for spoke calculation purposes (so we subtract 1.5mm from each side), but obviously I prefer to have actual data when possible.
Please note whether the values you are submitting were derived from Shimano's published data or from actual measurements of a hub specimen in the notes field. Thank you! -Karl |

Spoke hole diameter |
mm |
The inside diameter of the drilled spoke holes. If unknown, 2.6mm is a fairly safe approximation. |
Left flange diameter (PCD) |
mm |
The pitch circle diameter (PCD) of the drilled spoke holes, NOT the outside diameter of the flange. |
Right flange diameter (PCD) |
mm |
Left flange offset (C-F) |
mm |
Distance from the midpoint between the dropout faces to the midpoint of the holes drilled through the flanges. NOT to the inside or outside face of the flange. |
Right flange offset (C-F) |
mm |
Weight |
(grams) |
Ideally measured without a skewer or thru-axle. Feel free to explain the weight scenario in the notes. |
