probably a long shot in the dark, but people keep asking me about these and I don't know what to tell them! the only obvious markings are the mavic sticker on the rim and the hub is stamped "brit & ital thrds". Thanks for your help

Weyless (the original, not the new stuff sold by Supergo). Very smooth sealed-bearing hub, I own a pair but haven't built up a wheel with them, yet.

too bad if it doesn't have the slick QR skewer, but still a fine hub.
