Abstract: A wheel hub assembly for a bicycle is disclosed. The wheel hub assembly may comprise a hub shell for a wheel and coupled to a hub body with an axle by a ratchet mechanism and configured to provide an engaged state where the hub body/axle and the hub shell/wheel rotate together and a disengaged state where the hub body/axle may rotate independently relative to hub shell/wheel; the ratchet mechanism may comprise a set of ratchet rings configured with a set of teeth and sets/groups of pawls configured to engage/disengage the teeth of a ratchet ring; ratchet rings may be configured/installed in the hub body in an aligned condition or an offset condition; when ratchet rings are configured in an offset condition the ratchet mechanism may be configured to facilitate a generally more responsive transition between the disengaged state and the engaged state for the hub body/axle and hub shell/wheel.
