Why should you use BS 6102-13 - Mating dimensions for splined hub and sprocket of cycles?
The hub is the central part of your bike's wheels (front and rear), which connects to the wheel's rim via the spokes and through which the axle is fitted, enabling the wheel to freely spin on two sets of bearings. Sprockets are used to transmit power within machines or to move items by interlocking with them. Thus, hub assembly keeps your wheel attached to your vehicle and allows the wheels to freely turn to enable you to safely pedal and ride.
In this regard, BS 6102-13 outlines the dimensions and tolerances for the fitting of a sprocket to a splined hub.
As a result, if you are a cycle manufacturer, adhering to BS 6102-13 ensures that your products are reliable and efficient when in use.
