Good quality Swiss made sealed cartridge hub IF the axle



spacing suits your application.

Thanks for the pertient reply Andrew.



I guess there iis somethig unusual about the axle spacing? What is it?



Thanks again and cheers





Whether you need 120m, 126mm, 130mm or tandem 140mm they are

very well made.

I doubt you could find a replacement axle set to change the

spacing though.

So, if I'm following this right, the Edco hub uses a proprietary round axle that is scarcer than hen's teth on a rooster?

Thanks again and cheers from Peter


For the cartridge hubs that's right.
If you meant the older loose ball hubs, any metric axle
would do,arrange spacers as you wish.

Thanks again Andrew. I'm pretty sure it's an older loose ball bearings hub. It's a low flange thread freewheel type hub and is laced to a Mavic GP4 rim and has a new Vitorria tubular tire on it.

Cheers

Get real Daniels!

There are lots of vintage hubs in use that if properly lubed and adjusted pose no danger of "SEIZING" in use.

explain to us why your desire for 'vintage hubs' ?

It's be really nice if some people would simply reply with on-topic information to a simple request post.

Geeze it's not that hard to ignore something if you're not going to contribute something worthwhile.

From looking at their site it appeared that they made several
different hubs, some of which, at least, looked like high end stuff.

(but "unknown model hub" is a bit difficult to evaluate :-)

QUEST !

the road Raleigh here is 36. Original hubs are boxed.

Comparing the original hubs to the now Deore hubs is no contest for actual riding.

While the Deore are substantial, originals look and heft like 'racing hubs' maybe a combo of selling and - metallurgy. If undimpled, originals would not support confidence for short distance riding....in time of assembly and use.

In Volvo think, period hubs are kinda 'arty' for 'real' use

all original hubs salvaged and examined were dimpled.
