Dirt jumpers, die hard single speeders, MTB fixers, biketrial riders, this is your hub. Innovative multi function construction allows for it to be used as a FIXED and FREE hub.

Dirt jumpers, die hard single speeders, MTB fixers, biketrial riders, this is your hub. Innovative multi function construction allows for it to be used as a FIXED and FREE hub.


The HAUNEBU IV has super wide flanges (75mm) that will allow for you to build extra stiff wheels. We designed the hub so that you can fit the smallest freewheels available (down to 14T!) or put a Shimano cassette cog (down to 12t!) and use it as a fixie. FOUR double sealed bearings (two each side) located as close as possible to the frame dropouts minimize axle bending moment under the weight of the rider.


The CNC body with an International std. 6 bolt disc mount and four high quality sealed bearings will ensure smooth running for a long time. The screw on external axle is made on the highest grade 12.9 oxide coated steel, known as high tensile. The first number represents the ultimate tensile strength of the bolt, 12 x 100 = 1200 Mpa respectively. The second number represents the point at which the bolt will permanently stretch. (Officially, the 0.2% proof load stress). A 12,9 bolt permanently stretches at 90 %. Your axle has never been that strong.



The hub includes a cassette&lockring for fixed gear cogs (if you leave the cassete HG/UG body and lockring off, you can install singlespeed freewheels, for example DICTA BRAND).

Technical specs:
Color: RED Anodized
Hub Drilling: 32 and 36 holes
Rear Axle Type: Hex Bolts M10×1.25mm 12.9 class
Freewheel thread Type: Small M30xP1mm known as flip-flop
Cassette Body Type: Shimano HG/UG
Lock ring Tool: same as 8-notch Shimano XTR M950 and Truvativ ISIS Drive bottom bracket cups Tool
Hub/Brake Compatibility: 6-Bolt Disc
Rear Wheel Type: Mountain Rear Hub Spacing, OLD = 135mm (Outer Locknut Dimension)
Weight: 340g include bolts, washers, cassete, lock-ring

This absolutely gorgeous hub is the first 2in1 hub made to work with a freewheel and Shimano HG/UG cogs as a fixie.

Exclusively packaged in a wooden laser engraved box.

 I like the hub, but I'm not keen on using bolts for the axle. Horizontal and vertical forces are going to work the axle bolts within the hub. A nutted axle has a longer lifespan because the vertical forces are transferred from the hub to the frame through a solid piece of steel or aluminum.

 I don't agree with that. Trials riders have been using this setup forever, and there's nothing wrong with it.

 I think the hub looks pretty solid. Another good hub on the market with solid construction and a resonably sound design. As far as the fixie setup is concerned I don't see a cassette design being a strong enough interface for fixie riding. I've cut through cassette bodies with cogs on a freewheeling cassette body which has a lot less force than that. That said I'm no engineer and I'm sure these guys have tested their product. However, given that it looks like a $300-$400 hub I'd have to say that I'd use the Hadley single speed hub over that. It still has the extra wide flanges, no dish but it also has taller flanges making it stiffer still. Also Ti construction makes it really light. I must say though I'm always excited when a product comes out to compete with the hype around Chris King.

 Kind of cheesy. How many people are going to use the multiple features on this hub? How many people out there have a single speed bike, with both a freewheeling and a fixxie wheel laying around, because they ride both? Probably not many. So how many of these hubs will sell? Probably not many. Just buy somthing with some class like a Paul hub. There pretty cheap for how nice they are. $165 USD. Good deal.

 I don't think that fixie riders and single speed dirt/street riders are in the same category at all. I do think it's a great design though. The bolt on idea allows for a thicker axle for those that don't have the 12 mm frame. Putting the bearing farther out should make it stiffer and stronger. Great design but they should take some of these ideas and make a single speed specific hub, a fixie hub and a DH hub. No need to mash the different types together.

 Too bad that thing would unthread itself if it were used as a fixed hub since the lockring isn't reverse threaded...
