About this product
This is a NOS (New Old Stock) Shimano Road Touring Bicycle Front Hub, featuring 36 spoke holes and a 5/16" axle. Made from aluminum, this silver hub is designed for 1-speed applications and has a high flange. Manufactured in Japan, it's compatible with a range of bikes including BMX and cruiser types, and comes with a nut attachment style.
Our take
This NOS Shimano front hub is a vintage find, clearly appealing to those restoring older bikes or seeking classic components. The 36-hole count is excellent for building a strong, durable wheel, which is a plus for touring or BMX applications. Being aluminum and a Shimano product, you can expect decent quality, and the 'New Old Stock' status means it's unused, despite its age. However, the 5/16" axle and nut attachment style are less common on modern bikes, and its 1-speed designation makes it quite specific. It's a niche item, but for the right project, it's a solid, authentic piece.
