Abstract
A hub for bicycles with a hub shell rotatably supported relative to a hub axle by roller bearings and a rotor rotatably supported relative to the hub axle by at least two rotor bearings and with a freewheel device with two interacting freewheel components namely, a hub-side freewheel component and a rotor-side freewheel component. The two freewheel components are movable relative to one another in the axial direction between a freewheel position and an intermeshing engaging position in which a driving torque can be transmitted. The hub-side freewheel component is compact in configuration and a hub bearing to rotatably support the hub shell is integrated and configured therein. An outer ring of the hub bearing is configured in an axial body section of the hub-side freewheel component. A sealing unit protects the interior of the hub bearing from the entry of dirt and water.
