++1! That is what I meant! I have a whole box of NOS S-A AW 3sp hubs, and a several used ones. Also some dyno hubs.
I have no intent of letting them go anytime soon. I also have a couple of the Taiwan built ones they are no where near the quality of the Nottingham ones. What is amazing to me is the basic technology in those S-A hubs is around 100 years old and there still is not a better system to be had
