FIT Bike Co Sealed High Flange 3/8″ Front Hub - Gold

FIT Bike Co Sealed High Flange 3/8″ Front Hub - Gold

The FIT sealed high flange front hub is a classic 36-hole BMX front hub designed with traditional styling and modern sealed bearings. Featuring a high-flange design in gold aluminum, this hub delivers the period-correct aesthetic for old-school and mid-school builds while providing low-maintenance sealed bearing performance. Pairs perfectly with FIT's matching gold high-flange rear flip/flop hub for a complete wheelset.

Key Features

• Classic high-flange design – traditional large-flange profile creates the authentic look for old-school and mid-school builds while providing shorter, stiffer spoke angles for improved wheel strength
• Sealed cartridge bearings – sealed bearing system keeps out dirt and moisture, reducing maintenance frequency and extending bearing life compared to loose ball designs
• Gold aluminum shell – lightweight aluminum construction with anodized gold finish provides corrosion resistance and classic styling that matches FIT's gold high-flange rear hub
• 36-hole drilling – standard spoke count balances strength and weight for general BMX and cruiser riding
• 100mm dropout spacing – standard BMX front hub spacing compatible with most BMX forks

Compatibility and Ideal Use

This hub requires a fork with 3/8″ dropouts and 100mm spacing—the standard configuration for most BMX forks, particularly on cruisers and old-school/mid-school frames. The 36-hole drilling is compatible with most rims drilled for 36 spokes. Axle length of 150mm accommodates standard fork widths. Pairs perfectly with FIT's gold high-flange rear flip/flop hub for a matched wheelset. Best suited for old-school, mid-school, and cruiser builds where classic high-flange aesthetics are preferred, but works on any BMX bike with 3/8″ dropouts. Ideal for riders seeking period-correct styling with the reduced maintenance of modern sealed bearings.
