Using this Salt EX front hub is straightforward. First, make sure your bike is compatible with a 3/8-inch female axle and rim brakes. Install the hub on your bike's front wheel using the appropriate tools. When riding, enjoy the smoothness provided by the sealed bearings. To keep your hub in good condition, regularly clean it with a mild soap and water solution. Avoid using harsh chemicals that could damage the bearings or the alloy hub shell. Check the tightness of the wheel nuts and cones periodically. If you notice any unusual noises or play in the hub, it might be time to have it serviced. Store your bike in a dry place to prevent rust and corrosion on the axle and other metal parts.
