Nick Swann will probably know mate  :daumenhoch:

Im sure the first GT sealed hubs came with axle collars so these might be a bit later .

Nice hubs though Nick  8)

They are gen 3 ish. Great hubs but never saw the 80s unfortunately.

BTW Mrs SG said it's not a rabbit. Evidently she's going to show me her rabbit later!

You could swap the nuts around the cones for 80s collars and they'd pass themselves off for earlier ones to theuneducated

The decals are not original to those hubs. They should have had the stretched GT logo on them. Looks like someone has tried to make these look like the 80's versions. The hubs you have are 92-94 (roughly) and bridged the gap between the race lace era hubs and the mohawks.

Nice hubs none the less, and the original bearings with blue seals used to spin for ages!

Dont bother with these. They are the same era but came on low end models like the Interceptor. Completely different hubs and they are horrible. Cheap nasty stuff that never spin smooth no mater how well you service them. I dont even think the ball bearings or cones in them were round.  :LolLolLolLol:
