Velosteel, a Czech company, has been building the old Fitchel & Sachs Torpedo hub for 50 years. You may have seen this hub with it's older name, Favorit. Designed and manufactured since 1904 by Fichtel & Sachs, and in coutinuous production since then! When Fichtel & Sachs decided to quit making coaster brake hubs, they sold the machinery and it ended up at what is now Velosteel. This listing is for one 36 hole coaster brake hub that is spaced at 110mm for a cruiser or BMX frame, and includes the frame clip and the 19 tooth cog shown. I have also included an upgraded set of real track nuts with rotating washers to eliminate the scoring of the dropouts that occurs with standard flange nuts, and increses the security and accuracy of the wheel position in the frame. What makes this hub better than all the rest of the coaster brake hubs out there? First off is the forged one piece shell. Check out the carefully finished chrome, and the smooth contours. Compare to the Bendix, and the HiStop (KT, Shimano). The Histop and the Bendix have pressed on flanges, and the finish is haphazard to say the least. These two hubs have a cone clutch that slides back and fourth on the driver, and there is a retarder spring that adds a significant amout of drag to the hub. The brake shoes in these hubs are loose and drag on the shell when you are coasting read more
