How do I find which hub will fit on my bike?


I have a Schwinn hybrid. How do I find out what kind of hub will fit on it? I want to get rid of that quick-release system it has.

If your problem is just the security aspect of a quick release, get a set of bolt-on skewers. Like the ones here:

If you're set on getting a new hub, measure your dropouts and count your cassette gears. You'll need a hub that matches the dropout width and the drive unit on the hub has to fit your cassette.

Dropout widths are commonly 130mm or 135mm.

Take it to a bike shop.

There are so many sizes and models, let the experts show you the options.
