Decades ago I found a pair of Campy high flange NR hubs advertised in a local ad paper (remember those pre-CL?) for $20 and grabbed them. Only problem was that someone had drilled the spoke holes oversize, and had also tried drilling some new holes between the existing spokes holes but abandoned that idea halfway through one front flange. They sat around for a couple of years until the MTB craze hit and we were building our own. I bought fat spokes, drilled out the Araya 7X rims for the big spoke nipples and built up these 36 hole bombproof wheels. They now reside on my Cimarron.
