Peregrine semi pros

[wildon]

I seem to remember the semi-pro rims as being single wall only, as opposed to double walled?

Nah they are double walled too .. all HP, same rims just not chromed .. i also got a set of them here waiting to go off to the chromers to be made into super pros

[firebird4130]

I remember what we call semi pros now being called "standard" then there was chrome rimmed with chrome unsealed hub ones called semis, and then super pros.  but that coulds be just the shop?

HP48s  =  unsealed hubs and anno'd rims

SemiPros  =  Sealed hubs and anno'd rims

SuperPros  =  Sealed hubs and chrome rims.

Spot on i recon

These are the hubs I have, they are stickered as phat jacks, and have sealed bearings. I would use these on my sta, but the rear dropouts are cut for 14mm sadly.

You could also get chrome rims on unsealed hubs. Just to complicate it more

Yeah I had those too, Thought they were the semi pros at the time coz you were half pro with the chrome rims, but not quite with the unsealed bearing 

[SaMAlex]

in the early 90s, chrome rims on unsealed hubs were the better ones to get. The axle on the sealed ones were really short and you couldnt fit a socket style peg on them, esp on a frame with a thick dropout. AND it was much easier to get hold of repalcement unsealed axles when you bent them (most days). After a while you could get longer, heat treated sealed axles.

I've had a few sets of HP48s, the ones with the Phat Jack hubs can be used on 10 or 14mm dropouts can't they 

[christhejob]

this is a rear superpro hub, ie a UKAI sealed bearing hub, albeit without the peregrine stickers (that's how they came from trend in 91, 130 dollars!). There's a nice rusty standard axle in it.  laced to a sun rim unfortunately,
but if any of you dudes want it for postage costs for a wheel resto just pm me.  i ain't never gonna do anything with it!

can't seen how, the axle is slotted. I guess it could be changed, I have sorted wheels for the standard now. Gonna sell these now I have dug em out! Anyone clued up on the value of them?

True enough.  Custom Riders also did SuperPro and/or Sovos hubs laced to Araya rims as I recall.

I had mine on my 96 Condor which had 14mm dropouts & it rode fine  you just turn the axel so the 14mm bit is vertical, I'm sure the reason the have flat sides which are 10mm is so they can be used for both frames with 10 & 14mm dropouts.

As for price, I sold mine for £160 which were mint but lightly used, but this was a few years ago

can't you just use adapters?

phat jacks ae designed for both 10 and 14mm and the threads strip of in about 10 seconds.

[kev-s]

as already said the phat jaxx are made for 10 & 14mm dropouts, the threads are easily stripped/damaged so im always careful and never remove mine from my red s&m holmes unless i really have to, spare axles are even rarer than the hubs


anyone remember that custom riders used to do super pro rims but they had no decals and they were chromed by custom riders? they were slightly cheaper than normal super pros but the chrome peeled/bubbled much quicker, looking back i bet they had a load of anno peregrine rims and got them chromed locally real cheap

The front ones are great cos in a 10mm slot they dont go all the way into the fork dropout 

[harris]
