Sounds plausible.

Figure that one must always pay these things forward so the high flange wheel set will go on a restoration I am doing for our bicycle co-op on a beautiful 60's hand built frame... this should bring a good price for them when it sells.

I have another set of high flange Record hubs here to build up for my own dire purposes and if the low flange set is as nice as he says will think about running them on my Cooper as these should bring it down into the sub 20 category.

Nice detective work, JYB.

I suppose it's possible he happens to have some mixte rims.

Panasonic Sport 1000. Oh well.

I'm going with the theory that the friend who gave him the bike somehow mounted a tubular tire in a clincher rim, and that's probably why it didn't last long.

I have a set of those rims built into wheels. I've only used clinchers on them so far, but I haven't had any problems with them.

Yes, the kid at the lbs looked at me like if he wanted to slap some sense into me. I will never brag of being psychic but I could definitely tell and feel what what he was thinking! Lol :-)
