Singlespeed & Fixed Gear - Dura Ace High Flange Hubs - Back in stock...

Before the shill flags are raised, please note that I am in no way connected with bikepartsusa, but I was quite pleased to finally find these hubs for less than $289 on ebay. At $150, I thought that they were quite the deal. I just built them up to Open Pros and am pleased. Thought that others may be interested.

Just ordered myself a set! Not a bad deal at all, now I just need to pick out some rims to go with them!

i normally have a bit of a bad taste in my mouth about shimano but that price has got me drooling a bit. it certainly is a sexy hub...

I am glad that I found some other fans of the high flange. Do you know when Shimano stopped producing the 7600 model series? I was looking for DA hubs, but I did not like the appearance of the newer, low flange design.

I was thinking of buying a few to post on ebay, but then I thought that I would rather just pass the word along.

Are these things sealed, or are they of the looseball NJS approved variety....

I like NJS, but I like sealed better!

Loose balled. Shimano no makey a "sealed" cartridge bearing "track" hub.

Thats what I figured...

Shimano Still makes them in Japan

Man $150, you should see what our lbs charges for a pair of those.

I heard these were made by IRO

I thought they bought the Suzue molds.

Thanks for the hot tip. I'm in for a set.

36 for NJS aint it... these are 32's.

I thought they bought the Suzue molds.

Or they bought an IRO stamp at the Formula plant...

I just noticed that the front axle is 9mm. That's not normal, is it?

Low flange are 9mm also, what size were you expecting?

are they both high flange? i mean F & R hubs.

I wish SR Suntour still made Supebe Pro Track hubs. Can they do that if we ask them nicely?

No, because SR Suntour is not the same as Suntour.


At this point, the old Maeda-SunTour had disappeared, and a new company, SR SunTour, had taken over. SR SunTour maintained two offices in Japan for R & D and for Japanese sales. Taiwan Sakae Ringyo used the SunTour brand name because it had better recognition. Taiwan Sakae Ringyo was a Taiwan component maker, like Falcon, Joy Tech, Long Yi, or SunRace.

SR SunTour owned the name "SunTour" but they did not own SunTour's patents, intellectual property, or the rights to any of the pre-1995 designs. Various people tried to buy the tooling for SunTour Superbe Pro components, but Mori sold the tooling for scrap

Aren't most axles and dropouts 10mm? Or am I sniffing too much glue.

I think that it is 10mm in the rear, 9mm up front (at least with Shimano).

That definitely checks out - I run these hubs and love 'em.
Anyone know is the twenty-eight hole variety are going to
be available again? I haven't seen those in years.

the description of the front hub on the bikeparstusa site says "LF" - Low Flange? are these indeed the high flange ones?

Large Flange

aha thanks. it would suck to get some SF hubs by accident!

there are no dA left, all gone!!

Why? There's no functional difference between the two.

i called, them guys dont answer there fone.

Why? There's no functional difference between the two.

well i was just making fun of Small Flange vs. Low Flange. but yeah, it nevers bothers me when i order a red bike frame but get a blue one instead - i mean, there's no functional difference between the two.

you know what they say about guys with big flanges...

there are no dA left, all gone!!

Haha, I knew it was a good idea to order when I did!

I knew it was a good idea to not order when I was going to... I need a hot set of track tubular wheels like I need an extra hole in my head.

Did anybody who ordered these receive theres yet? I got my order today and there was only the front hub. I was charged for both. I called and they said the rears are on backorder and they'll maybe get them in a week or so. f'n online retailer shenanigans...

Got both Friday...

Ordered today. Back in stock. Man, I sure didn't need these but I've always wanted some. Now, what hoops...?

I received them before I started this thread. I wanted to make sure that everything was legit prior to suggesting the purchase.

I laced mine to Open Pros. I have yet to weigh the wheels, but I am pleased with them after 2 weeks of commuting.

JAH

In the process of selling mine...have over $750+ worth of isht on order from Phil. Who says sexy can't last forever? Good luck overhauling your DA hubs every two months, guys!

Do you just work for bike parts only and receive no pay?

I pay for food and bills, so essentially. I'm like a podunk Juvi: no morals, no obligations, no f**king care.

Overhauling, as in, popping them apart, squishing in some grease and readjusting? Yeah, brutal man. Takes minutes out of my day...


PS- I love my Phils, too. You can have it all you know.

Lacing them to some NOS araya ct19n's.

I received both of mine last week. They are beautiful.

I plan on "having it all", but I simply can't afford to have it all sitting around at once.

i have these, albeit in 36h. packed them with progold epx grease and they are rediculously smooth.

I repacked mine with Slick Honey and they were actually *less* buttery than they came from the factory. I swear, despite its poor water repellency, the factory grease is ****ing amazing.
