Nexus 3-Speed Hub Tear Down

Jul 24, 2013

Eric, a Ph.D. candidate in Mechanical Engineering at MIT, contacted us recently for a project. We donated a Shimano 3-Speed hub to open up and document for a presentation. He sent us back a few photos to show and tell. If you’ve always wanted, but never have opened up one of these hubs, behold:

Thanks again for sharing the photos with us. Best of luck with the project, Eric.
