SKU code: SHM-EFHTC500HMB
Sold Out
Build a dependable trail or commuter wheel around a freehub that just keeps turning. The Shimano FH-TC500-HM-B is a Boost 148x12 mm rear freehub with a Center Lock rotor interface and a wide 8/9/10-speed plus 11-speed MTB compatibility window, so it slots into a huge range of modern hardtails and trail bikes.
Highlights
- Boost 148x12 mm E-THRU spacing for current MTB frames
- HG Spline M freehub body covers 8, 9, 10 and 11-speed MTB cassettes
- Center Lock rotor mount for fast, secure disc fitting
- 32-hole drilling for a strong, serviceable wheel build
- Labyrinth and contact sealing to keep dirt and water out
Reliable engagement, low fuss
A pawl-and-ratchet freehub body delivers consistent pickup ride after ride, while the cup-and-cone bearing system can be adjusted and serviced rather than thrown away, helping the hub last for seasons of riding.
Sealed against the elements
Combined labyrinth and contact seals shield the bearings from mud, dust and spray, so engagement stays crisp through wet trails and grimy commutes.
Easy disc setup
The Center Lock interface lets you fit a compatible rotor with a single lock ring, making rotor swaps and brake servicing quicker than a six-bolt setup.
Compatibility & fit
- Frame spacing: Boost 148x12 mm E-THRU rear axle only
