Abstract
A bicycle hub comprises a tubular body and a spoke attachment part. The tubular body has a rotational axis. The spoke attachment part includes an attachment opening through which a spoke is to extend. The attachment opening includes a first end opening through which the spoke is to extend, and a second end opening through which the spoke is to extend. The second end opening is provided outward of the first end opening in a radial direction perpendicular to the rotational axis. The second end opening has a first maximum length and a second maximum length. The first maximum length is defined in a circumferential direction defined about the rotational axis. The second maximum length is defined in an axial direction parallel to the rotational axis. The first maximum length is larger than the second maximum length.
