Product Information
Full details
The Miche Primato Track Hubs are designed for track cyclists and fixed-gear road riders seeking a high-quality, durable, and performance-oriented hubset. Their key benefit lies in the smooth, long-lasting performance provided by sealed bearings within a robust CNC-machined alloy body. A potential caveat for some users might be the fixed-gear-only nature, requiring specific drivetrain considerations.

FAQs
Are these hubs suitable for a flip-flop hub setup?
No, the Miche Primato Track Hubs are designed specifically for single fixed-gear use. They only have threads on one side for a cog and lockring.
What is the axle size for these hubs?
The front hub axle size is 9 x 100mm.
Can I use these hubs with a freewheel?
No, these hubs are designed exclusively for fixed-gear cogs and lockrings. They do not have the necessary threading or mechanism for a freewheel.
How many spoke holes do these hubs have?
These hubs come with 32 spoke holes.
What type of bearings do the Primato hubs use?
They use MICHE sealed bearings, which are designed for durability and smooth rotation.
Are these hubs good for everyday commuting?
Yes, the sealed bearings and robust construction make them suitable for daily use, offering reliability and smooth performance.
Troubleshooting
Hub feels rough or stiff.
The sealed bearings may be worn or contaminated. They will likely need to be replaced. Clean the exterior of the hub and seals thoroughly first.
Cog loosening during ride.
Ensure the track cog and lockring are installed with sufficient torque using the correct tools. A properly installed lockring is essential for safety on fixed-gear setups.
Wheel does not spin freely.
Check for spoke interference or frame clearance issues. If the hub itself is the problem, the sealed bearings may require replacement.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent value for money in the track hub market.
- Smooth and reliable performance due to sealed bearings.
- Durable construction suitable for rigorous use.
- Classic aesthetics that complement many bike builds.
- Good stiffness and strength from large flanges.
Cons
- Fixed-gear only; not suitable for freewheel setups.
- Requires specific tools and knowledge for installation.
- Limited to 32 spoke drilling, which might not suit all wheel builds.
- Sealed bearings, while durable, may require replacement rather than servicing if damaged.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure you have a compatible frame with track-style dropouts (typically 9 x 100mm front axle).
- Mount your track cog and lockring securely onto the fixed thread. Use appropriate tools for a tight fit to prevent loosening.
- Lace spokes according to your chosen wheel-building pattern, ensuring even tension.
- Install the wheel into the frame and secure it properly.
Compatibility:
- Axle Size: Front 9 x 100mm.
- Drivetrain: Single fixed cog only (requires a lockring).
- Spoke Drilling: 32 hole.
Care:
- Regularly inspect the hubs for any signs of damage or wear.
- Keep the sealed bearings clean externally. Avoid direct high-pressure washing on the bearing seals.
- If the hub feels rough or stiff, it may indicate the sealed bearings need replacement. Replacement is typically done by pressing out the old bearings and pressing in new ones.
