OneUp Components has unveiled its latest innovation: the 157mm SuperBoost hubs, designed specifically for downhill and SuperBoost riders seeking enhanced performance and durability. These hubs build upon the brand’s renowned 148mm hubs, incorporating advanced features tailored for gravity-focused cycling disciplines.
Key Features and Specifications:
-
Front Hub (20x110mm): Engineered with large 23mm x 32mm x 7mm bearings, the front hub maximizes stiffness while maintaining a lightweight profile. The design includes laser-etched dimensions on the hubshell for easy reference and a lacing alignment line on the hub flange to assist wheel builders in aligning the valve hole at the start of a wheel build.

-
Rear Hub (12x157mm): The rear hub is compatible with SRAM’s XD Slim Driver, enabling riders to utilize the latest wireless seven-speed downhill drivetrains on bikes with a 148mm boost-spaced rear. The 157mm hub shell supports symmetrical spoke-bracing angles, promoting more even spoke tension and a stronger wheel build. (pinkbike.com)
Enhanced Design Elements:
-
Spoke Hole Drillings: The hub flange diameter has been increased to facilitate unobstructed lacing for both inboard and outboard spokes, simplifying wheel building. (pinkbike.com)
-
Rotor Mount Improvements: The thickness of the rotor mounts on the 110x20mm front hub has been enhanced to accommodate larger downhill rotors, ensuring increased durability. (pinkbike.com)
-
Reduced Drag Seals/Endcaps: Updated endcaps reduce seal drag, allowing for increased free spin earlier in the wheel’s life. (pinkbike.com)
Serviceability and Replacement Parts:
OneUp Components offers a dedicated Hub Rebuild Drift Kit for the new hub sizes, facilitating at-home servicing. Replacement parts, including ratchets, bearings, seals, freehubs, and small components, are available directly from OneUp. The hubs utilize common bearing sizes that can be sourced through most bike shops. (pinkbike.com)
