+1 Suntour made switch from 2-notch to 4-notch sometime in the mid-80s. The bike I bought in 1984 used 2-notch and the bike I built up with Suntour stuff in 1987 uses 4-notch.

Also, my Superbe Pro hubs from 1987 do not use cartridge bearings. I don't think Superbe Pro hubs had cartridge bearings until 1990.
