Abstract
The invention, in a first variant thereof, relates to a hub for a bicycle wheel with a disc brake. The hub comprises a pin extending along a longitudinal axis (X), a body rotatably mounted on the pin and comprising a coupling portion with a brake disc, a bearing radially interposed between the pin and the body and in axial abutment with the body, a cap associated with a free end portion of the pin and configured to be associated with the frame of the bicycle and a calibrated washer in axial abutment with the pin and one between the cap and the bearing or axially interposed between the bearing and the body. By selecting a calibrated washer of desired thickness, it is possible to precisely position the brake disc with respect to the frame, and thus with respect to the pads associated therewith.
