Wheel hubs are often made out of aluminum due to its lightweight properties, which help reduce the overall weight of the vehicle and improve fuel efficiency. Aluminum also offers excellent corrosion resistance, enhancing the durability and lifespan of the components. Additionally, it can be easily molded and machined, allowing for design flexibility and complex shapes that optimize performance.

How is a bike wheel made?

The rim is made by forming a length of extruded aluminum profile into a hoop, joining it and drilling it for spokes and valve. Spokes are made by cold forging lengths of stainless steel. Nipples are usually made out of brass stock, then chromed/nickel plated. Hubs are forged and cut, usually out of aluminum, drilled for spokes and then have bearings and axles installed. Then hubs are laced to rims, everything is trued and tightened up and the wheel is done, ready to receive its tube and tire.
