They start off as a 6061 cold forging.

They're turned in Taiwan, the CNC kapital of the world.

the deep v's are nice but everyone has them. As far as hubs - i am backing Phil... they are the best ride and they look slamming!

I thought India is the new CNC big boy now? I know their machining capability is enormous but Im not positive about the CNC side of it.

I know the IRO hubs are rebranded...but from what? Anyone know? Anyway, good solid hubs for the price. Obviously not the best, but a good value and will do the job for most.

Everyone has Deep V's but most people don't need them. Save yourself the $50 unless you have a time trial coming up or something. I have the aeroheads on my beater and so far they've been just fine on the super **** up streets in my part of Brooklyn.

Phil hubs are damn nice, but $$$. It all depends on what kind of riding you are going to do. Be honest w/ yourself and don't spend like a trackstar if you aren't one. Otherwise you're just a skip and a hop away from buying a 4x4 SUV to pick up groceries and take the kids to soccer practice.

What kind of answer is that?

This guys question sounds reasonable. People ask wheelset recommendations all the time on the road forum....nobody says stuff like that to them.

Those rims are massively strong. Even on a road bike which has a rear wheel dramatically weakened by "dish" those are considered overkill by most.

ahhhhh a SS/fix forum newbie
hang around in here for a while and you'll understand

Heh, I was thinking the same thing!
But as [baxtefer] kindly pointed out:


that kinda bulls**t seems to be common 'round here.
Make that of it what you will...

I guess when the most difficult hurdle is the chainline you got to do something to make yourself feel good.

Ha!
I was actually on your side on that one, though i might see how you mis-understood my post. Let me try again:

That kind of attitude is common 'round here, as [baxtefer] <sarcastic> kindly </sarcastic> pointed out.

Carl.

Thanks for the welcome. (I knew what you meant the first time)

P.S. I'm an *******, but I still answer questions. LOL (comment not directed at you)

I have an old set of campy hubs... they are currently on a set of sew-ups. I am thinking of relacing them to a new set of rims. Any suggestions on what rims would look good with the vintage campy hubs? They are for an 84 vintage bianchi celeste track bike.

do you know if most hubs are 6061? specifically the nashbar jobbies? I'm going to try my hand at anodizing and plan to do some nashbar hubs if it works out.

I too was of the opinion that vintage frames and aero rims shouldn't play together until I saw this bad larry: http://www.bikeforums.net/showpost.p...postcount=3478

vintage campy hubs to deep vs? seems wrong.

I think 6061 is the most common alloy for this sort of thing. I think the 7xxx alloys are used for structural things, but things that are CNCed are usually the 6xxx alloys. But I don't know for SURE about the nashbar jobs. Make sure you let us see your anodized hubs when you are done! I've read a lot about the process, and considered it myself a few times, I've just never gotten up and done it.

peace,

There is no right or wrong. There are only bikes that are ridden and bikes that are not.

I myself would never use Deep Vs on a classic frame (if you want to go for that classic look) but I wont knock anyone for doing it. I agree with above, the only thing wrong is a bike thats not ridden.

cool. thanks for the info. it'll be a few months before I try it but I'll def. let ya'll know how it goes.

i just got a set of aeroheads laced to high-flange pauls today, and so far i love em to death
