Joy Industrial's Novatec hubs may become a popular item among wheelbuilders, because they allow relatively easy swaps between four different front hub/fork drop out standards. Riders with multiple wheels and forks in their garages also might find these hubs convenient.

The 4in1 front hubs can interchange — without tools — to fit standard quick releases, or 9mm, 15mm or 20mm thru axles.

The rear hubs can be swapped between standard quick releases, 10mm or 12mm thru axles. No retail price has been set. The company said they would go into production soon after the Taipei Cycle show in March.
