BX314F Rim Brake Front Hub

The Bitex BX314F is a rim brake front hub built for riders who want reliable, smooth-rolling performance from their custom wheel builds. Whether you are lacing up a dedicated climbing wheelset for the Western Ghats or assembling a dependable training wheel for year-round use on Indian roads, this hub provides the solid foundation your build deserves — at a price point that makes performance accessible.

Use Cases

Daily training. Durable rim and reliable hub bearings for repeat training use.

Race day. Aerodynamic depth and weight-optimised construction for competitive efforts.

All-rounder. Versatile depth and width for road, gravel, or all-road riding.

Our Take

Bitex has earned a strong reputation among custom wheel builders globally, and the BX314F brings that quality to Indian riders without the import premium. For riders tackling Lonavala climbs, Chennai's flat coastal roads, or the mixed-surface riding common around Pune and Hyderabad, a precision front hub with optimised bearing placement makes a tangible difference in how lively and responsive a wheel feels under load. At Rs. 4,300, it is a smart foundation for a custom build.

Sizing for Indian Riders

This is a rim brake hub, so confirm your fork accepts rim brake wheels — not disc. Verify your fork's axle standard: most road forks use Quick Release 100mm. Indian riders building wheels for varied terrain should also confirm spoke hole count matches their chosen rim. Heat above 35°C does not affect hub internals, but bearing maintenance is more frequent in dusty, monsoon-affected conditions.

Compatibility Notes

The BX314F is designed for rim brake forks with a Quick Release axle standard. It is not compatible with disc brake or thru-axle setups. Confirm spoke hole count alignment between this hub and your chosen rim before lacing. Use appropriate spoke tension and a calibrated spoke tension meter for a durable build. Bearing service is recommended periodically, especially after heavy monsoon riding.

Pairs Well With

Complete your custom wheel build by pairing this hub with a quality road or gravel rim in your preferred spoke hole count, double-butted spokes for weight and durability, nipples suited to your rim bed, and a spoke tension meter to ensure an even, true build. Free delivery on orders above Rs. 2,500.
