The sleeve oil seal and the leakage-proof gasket are of a simple structure to provide double sealing for the ratchet wheel, and to prevent foreign objects to enter the hub enclosure. The bent portion and the seal are flexible and will not affect the relative rotation of the various cooperating components inside the hub enclosure, ensuring smooth riding of the bicycle.
