Can I radial lace my Chub Road Front hub?
We do not recommend radial lacing for this hub. Radial lacing can compromise the bearing fit in the hub body and can be hard on the flanges. We are hard at work on creating a Chub Road Front that can be radial laced to your favorite rim. Stay tuned.

Why is the Road Front so small compared to the huge Chub Fixed Rear?
On a bike with either rim brakes or no brakes, the front wheel does not undergo the punishment the rear wheel sees from pedaling loads. In this case, we opted to save weight since we did not need the large flange diameter to decrease spoke stress. We did, however, make the flanges as far apart as possible to increase spoke triangulation which results in a laterally stiffer wheel.
