Also, FB- those hubs are at least 30 years old. Do you really think there's a warranty on them?
I have a few pairs of those same hubs, and they had "lifetime warranty". I don't know who's lifetime that referred to, but that isn't the point. I mentioned warranty only to reinforce the point that manufacturers will disown hubs if you re-lace in a reversed direction. It isn't about collecting on a warranty, it's about not needing to.
