Here is a video from Bence Pásztor. You can catch some close-ups of a Yobi Hub and some beautiful pictures of Budapest!
Last weekend, the traditional BangKing was arranged in Japan, in which everyone could enter.
Unfortunately, I could not take part on it personally, only as a sponsor; but it was good to see the smile of Matsudos face, who had Yobi hubs in his hands!
“Providentially, the Uchinada velodrome in the prefecture of Ishikawa (along the coast of the Sea of Japan) hosts designated periods when it is open to the public. As the weekend training sessions of the professional riders stamp the authenticity of this bank, this arena provides the perfect opportunity for us city track racers to experience part of the keirin world.”

During the last few weeks I worked hard to redesign the hubs.. to have a clearer and simplier design.
I think the result speaks for itself. I changed the fixation technology of the old version to replaceable high flanges.
here you can see more pictures about it.
I also developed a pair of more conventional hubs.
Both variations will be available within the next few weeks.
