Shimano Dura-Ace 7600 Track Hub

While engineered specifically for the track, the Dura-Ace 7600 is often used for fixed-gear street riding due to its legendary durability. Keep in mind that these are not sealed cartridge hubs, so they require more frequent maintenance if exposed to road grit and weather.

Borozon treatment is a specialized process that hardens the bearing race surface to an extreme degree. This results in a smoother, more consistent interface for the ball bearings, which significantly reduces friction and drag compared to standard steel races.

No, the hub is sold as a standalone component. You will need to purchase a compatible track cog and lockring separately to complete your wheel build.

The high-flange design allows for shorter spoke lengths, which creates a stiffer, more responsive wheel. This is particularly advantageous for track sprinting where power transfer and lateral rigidity are critical.

Yes, these hubs feature a traditional cup-and-cone bearing system that is fully serviceable. With the right tools and grease, you can easily clean, repack, and adjust the bearings to keep them running smoothly for years.
