Hubs the size of soup cans?
 

Out riding today, I pulled up to a guy on a Softride wearing full USPS kit, and he had hubs the size of soup cans! I thought this might be his 'rain bike' and asked if he was riding drum brakes, and he said no.I didn't stick around long enough to ask more questions, just a 'pretty fancy' comment. These weren't Phil Wood or American Classic size hubs, they looked like the size of a nexus 7 speed. Anyone know what kind of hubs these might have been?

Spinergy?

chub hubs?

Maybe a Nexus 7 on back and a hub generator on front??

probably White Industries.

They might have been Power Taps from Graber. Awesome hubs!

Could've been one of those things that tells you how much power you're generating while on a ride, they've got a pretty big hub housing all the mechanisms.

Or maybe it's his 140 speed dura-ace. 2 front x 10 cassette x 7 hub. 0-140mph @ 90 RPM. :)

The most likely explaination? It's a stash and the hub's hollow...

yep, must be chub hubs.....if it was that huge and noticable.
