Abstract
A hub is configured to suppress deformation in a disc rotor even if the disc rotor is made thinner and more lightweight, and to suppress wobbling in a braking surface. The hub has a hub axle, a hub shell, a pair of bearings, and a brake mount. The hub shell has spoke attachment parts with spoke attachment holes and disposed at both ends for attaching a plurality of spokes. The brake mount has a rotor attachment unit for attaching a disc rotor of a disc brake. The rotor attachment unit is integrally formed with a first spoke attachment part and is disposed radially farther out than the minimum radial position at which the spokes are attached.
