What hubs originally came with the pro class rims, looked on vintage mongoose but does not name the hubs?

Cheers

Wow that was a good link

Picked these up today after being rebuilt. They are Suzue large flange hubs. Looks like from some of the piccys in that link these could have been the correct hubs for some of these wheel sets.

A 1984 SE Racing Quadangle Neil that seems to be taking for ever to build mate. Still no rush, cause if i finish this i'll only want to do another.    Financially i can't afford another.  ...................  YET.

Nice, but you can keep the quad, i'm not an SE fan, but i'll take the wheels

look forward to seeing the finished product though

Ive had some with shimano as well

As ever, I've had them all guys.

Off the shelf, most UK wheels have Suzue sealed hubs. I know, as in 1983 I bought a pair of Tuffs and rode my Cali off every ramp I could. My dad put my Pro-class wheels in the shed for a rainy day, and 25 years later found them again, so a quick trip to get re-spoked down my LBS and ta-da, here they are



I've also bought a lot from the States, and my Minigoose 1-3/8" came with Suzues. However, all the 1.75 wheels I have imported came with SR hubs. Mmmm, go figure that one out eh?

Oh, all of them were low-flange. Nothing with large flange has passed through my grubby mitts, and I've had 8 sets now....

I also had one from the UK with a Shimano hub, but that had definitely been raced so could easily have been re-built.

These were all UK sourced with Suzues:

Right then - shows how good my memory is    Mine are low flange SR hubs and these are 1.75 survivors bought from the states, I also had a look through the US mongooses catalogues and the 83 and 84 catalogues don't have a spec sheet but the 85 says they're SR :



Maybe suzue was just a UK thing
