About this product
The Shimano Nexus 3 Speed Coaster Brake hub is a 36-hole rear internally geared hub, presented in silver, complete with shifters. This vintage-style component is versatile, compatible with a wide range of bikes including cruisers, BMX, mountain, and urban fixed gear bikes. It offers three speeds and features a coaster brake, ideal for those seeking a clean, classic aesthetic without external derailleurs. The axle diameter is 3/8 inch.
Our take
This Shimano Nexus 3-speed hub is a fantastic upgrade or replacement for anyone looking to simplify their drivetrain with the classic convenience of a coaster brake. The internal gearing keeps things tidy and low maintenance, which is a big plus for cruisers and urban bikes. The 36-hole count is standard for many wheel builds, offering good strength. It's a versatile component, fitting a broad array of bike types from vintage cruisers to modern urban fixed gear setups. While it's technically 'vintage,' it's a proven and reliable design. At $179.98, it's an investment, but you're paying for Shimano's quality and the integrated functionality of gearing and braking in one unit.
