Abstract
Disclosed is an improvement in a rear hub for a bicycle, which hub has an inner member at one axial end of a hub shell, a cylindrical bearing member mounted on the inner member axially outwardly thereof, and an outer member having at least one sprocket and being supported unidirectionally rotatably to the inner member through a pair of first and second bearings. A tubular receiving portion for receiving the cylindrical bearing member is formed axially outwardly of the inner member, and a fitting portion having an inner periphery of a larger diameter than an outer diameter of the receiving portion is formed at the central portion of the cylindrical bearing member, to form an annular space between the outer periphery of the receiving portion and the inner periphery of the fitting portion. A sleeve is inserted into the space, making it possible to fix the cylindrical bearing member at a desired position on said receiving portion.
