Introducing the Pace-Hub: Reliable Design, Superior Performance
Whether it’s maintaining a steady cadence or responding to attacks, cyclists know that
responsive engagement in their hubs can make all the difference. That’s why we’re excited to
introduce the Pace-Hub—a high-performance road and gravel hub set (for steel spokes) designed to deliver riders a
reliable, responsive and smooth ride at an affordable price. How does the Pace-Hub hit all these
marks? Let’s dive into the details.
Fast and Responsive Engagement
At the heart of the Pace-Hub is a 36-tooth star ratchet system, a reliable mechanism known
for its superior durability compared to traditional pawl systems. The 36t ratchet is
ultra-precise and reliable, ensuring that each pedal stroke results in powerful forward
motion. This makes the Pace-Hub perfect for road rides, all-terrain adventures, and any
cyclist who values a fast, consistent ride.
Wave Spring Innovation
We’ve incorporated an innovative wave spring design in the Pace-Hub, which replaces the
traditional ring spring. This wave spring design features multiple support points, resulting
in smoother, more precise propulsion with each engagement.
The integrated ratchet and wave spring design not only improves the hub’s performance but
also makes maintenance easier, as the spring remains coiled firmly within the hub body even
with the freehub removed - no bouncing around!
Built for Strength and Speed
The Pace-Hub doesn’t just perform well—it’s also built to last. Made from high-strength 7075
aluminum, the axle, driver body, and end caps are durable and light. This high
strength-to-weight ratio makes the hubset durable while keeping the weight low, at only 275
grams (90g front and 185g rear).
Easy, Tool-Free Maintenance
Maintaining the Pace-Hub could not be easier: designed for tool-free servicing, the
Pace-Hub’s end caps and freehub can be removed by hand—no cone spanners or specialty tools
required. This hassle-free servicing makes the Pace-Hub the perfect choice for riders who
prefer to handle basic upkeep themselves.

The Light Bicycle Pace-Hub is available online for all road/cyclocross/gravel disc-brake
wheelsets (steel spoked). If you’d like to know more about this hubset, send us an email at sales@lightbicycle.com.

I can't find any reviews of this hub. How does it compare to your Gen2 Speed Hub, for instance? How would you rate it in comparison to the more expensive DT Swiss 240?

Hi Alfred,
Our Pace-Hub is designed for regular road disc brake build of 24H steel spokes. The entry level road disc-brake hubs of Bitex, ARc, and Novatec feature a high rate of customer complaint on the product quality. Pace-Hub is better quality and similar or lower prices options.
Thanks,
Lightbicycle
