The Shimano HB-TC500-12 is a dependable disc-brake front hub built for road and gravel wheels, pairing a stiff 12 mm E-THRU axle interface with the convenience of Center Lock rotor fitment. With 28 spoke holes and labyrinth-and-contact sealing, it is a sensible, all-weather choice for a reliable everyday or rebuild wheelset.

Highlights

• Center Lock disc mount for fast, splined rotor installation
• 12 mm E-THRU axle interface for a stiff, precise front end
• 28-hole J-bend drilling for traditional wheel builds
• 100 mm over-locknut dimension (O.L.D.) for standard road and gravel forks
• Labyrinth and contact sealing to keep out water and grit
• Sealed cartridge bearings in an aluminium hub shell

Built for road and gravel

The TC500 hub family is designed for reliable road and light gravel riding. The aluminium hub shell balances strength against weight, while the sealed cartridge bearings deliver smooth, long-lasting rotation through changing conditions.

Center Lock convenience

The Center Lock spline interface lets you fit and remove a compatible disc rotor with a single lockring, making rotor swaps and servicing quicker than a six-bolt setup. A Center Lock rotor and lockring are required and are not included.
