A hub assembly includes a retainer housing, a retaining member, a biasing element, and a restraining element. The retainer housing includes an axle bore configured to receive an axle and a pin sleeve. The pin sleeve includes a first end in fluid communication with the axle bore, a second end, and a conduit between the first end and the second end. The retaining member is in the conduit and is configured to operatively engage a groove in an axle. The biasing element is in the conduit and is configured to bias the retaining member towards the axle bore. The restraining element is configured to prevent the retaining member from exiting the second end of the pin sleeve at least prior to coupling the hub assembly to a wheel. A wheel assembly can include the hub assembly and a wheel.
