<p>A wheel hub assembly (100) for connecting a wheel rim to the front fork (83, 84) of a bicycle or motorcycle, with this same wheel hub assembly comprising an oversized single member hub-axle assembly (20, 10) for attachment to a fork (83, 84) dropout (80,82) having an enlarged opening. The wheel hub assembly according to the present invention comprises an axle (10), a bearing assembly (40, 42), a hub having flanges (22) for connection to the wheel rim (e.g., via spokes), and a quick release clamping mechanism for securing the wheel hub assembly to the front forks (83, 84) of the bicycles. Additionally, the present invention provides wheel hub assembly having an axle with an increased diameter and a dropout with an increased size at the axle/dropout interface in order to yield a more rigid interface between the wheel and fork, and provides a more stable bicycle. <IMAGE></p> |
