Industry Nine Torch Classic CX/Road Rear Disc Hub (Black) (Shimano/SRAM) (6-Bolt) (QR x ... - HN6200, Industry Nine's Torch Series hubs offer lower drag, amazing anodized color quality, and the lightness and quick engagement of a superior hub. The moment you see these hubs in person, it's easy to tell why i9 is known to make one of the best-looking hubs on the market. The 60 point, 6deg engagement, 3 pawl engagement makes for less drag and quick engagement. This quick engagement is ideal for sprinting out of tight turns, and steep mountain climbs where a pause in your cadence flow equals a loss of balance and maybe a topple over! Large diameter disk flanges are angled to lower spoke stress, improve wheel stiffness, and braking torque transfer. The Torch utilizes a contact seal packed with marine grease just outside of the bearings to keep grime out of the cartridge bearing. This makes for less maintenance and serves to extend the life of the bearings. Industry Nine components are manufactured in the USA, start to finish. Everything. Through the layers of CNC machine processes, even if parts are separately machined and scrutinized by quality control. Hubs are individually polished and/or anodized, and laser-etched in-house. The production warehouse shelves are constantly moving with outgoing orders and incoming fresh parts from the machine shop. Industry nine has all of the technology they need to create their in-house project. For example, there's a wire EDM Machine, which cuts hardened steel by using an electrical current. The wire EDM machine used to cut the teeth and pawls and the EDM Wire machine maximizes strength and accuracy. Industry Nine really goes the whole nine yards with their components. If you don't believe it, here's a video to help: Features: Uses the same drive ring and pawls as the I9 mountain hubs with a reduced pawl count to 3 instead of 6 while still achieving a 6 degree engagement Relocated bearings and a new freehub seal reduces drag while coasting Custom Teflon contact seals fully seal the hubs from mud and water and are manufactured...
