Style Starts with Hub Nuts on Your Fixed Gear Bike!

Hello everyone, GORI from BROTURES Harajuku here.

Let's get right into it—when you think about dressing up, where do you focus most?

For me, it's definitely the feet! "Style starts from the feet up" is a phrase I learned back in middle school from the now-defunct fashion magazine SAMURAI ELO, and I've stuck by it ever since. In fashion, many think about sneakers or socks, and I do take my socks very seriously (self-proclaimed!).

Legs in socks



My favorite brand is STANCE, which was launched in California in 2010. They're not just popular in street scenes like skateboarding, BMX, and snowboarding, but they've also been making game socks for top athletes in MLB and NBA.

Their socks are super comfortable and designed for a variety of sports—including running and golf, infused with a lot of passion. STANCE isn't just functional; it's incredibly stylish, too. It often collaborates with various brands—even once with Michael Jackson, making it a high-profile sock brand.

But I digress a bit. As someone who prides themselves on stylish feet, my recommended dress-up part for fixed gear bikes isn't a sock but the hub nuts on the front and rear wheels. They might not change your riding performance, but they sure do enhance your riding mood!



We've just got some cool hub nut parts in stock at our Harajuku store, so let's check them out!

These beautiful wheel hub nuts might just be objects, but they have quite an impact when mounted. Installing such dress-up parts might not technically boost your bike's specs, but they lift our spirits sky-high! After all, we, the riders, are the true 'engines' of fixed-gear bikes, and that's why this kind of customization feels important. Haha!
