Alchemy front hubs have arrived
The much anticipated Alchemy Bicycle Works front hubs have arrived!
Alchemy used to import Tune and M5 into the United States but have gone on to design their own pair of hubs. The front is in production while the rear is still in the development stage.
The idea with the front hub is to space the bearings and flanges as wide as possible to stiffen the wheel. The bearings are ceramic and run smoothly, and the finish quality of the hub is top-notch. Weight is 64grams, lighter than a Tune Mig70 (73g) but heavier than an M5 (although the Alchemy uses “real” sized bearings, not iddy-bitty ones)
The hubs come without decals however I found them a bit plain so I added some custom Wheelworks bands with the W logo.
These hubs are in short supply and I only managed to get three of them: The silver 20h and two black 24h units. I only have one 24h left for sale…if you’d like a wheelset using it call quickly.
