Yeah i like em.
I just re-packed em yesterday. I really enjoy having loose bearing hubs for some reason.
I notice the coloring on your sticker is different than mine. Also, my rear is a Sansin NJS hub but looks quite a bit different that yours. Yours looks about like the front`s design. My rear is not the same.
Ill have to shoot a pic of it.

PMed :)

I still think those Dia Compe rims are the best. Why can't we get those in America?

dia compe makes rims?

Seriously.

I wonder how Sansin hubs stand on the NJS hub heirarchy where Suntour rules the world.

Apparently theyre basically the same exact hub as the Suntour.
Thats what i heard.
The rims i have are apparently Dia Compe. Thats what i was told at Carnival where i got them.
Theyre the same rims that come on the DiaCompe Gran Compe wheel sets so i assume that info was true.

i kinda like the wheelset they sell :)

If I recall correctly they go for $260/30,000¥en

I just read that all of those Suntour hubs were actually made by Sansin.

i am fairly sure that the hub mold was given to suntour.

Copied this from S.Brown's page
"Sanshin made Sunshine hubs. My understanding is they picked "Sunshine" as a brand name since it sounded close to Sanshin, non-Japanese had trouble pronouncing Sanshin, and Sunshine has nice English-language connotations. Around 1985 they seemed to have dropped Sunshine and labelled their product Sanshin.
In addition to producing product under their own label, Sanshin also acted as a subcontractor for SunTour; all SunTour-labelled hubs came from Sanshin. I don't know if there was any corporate cross-ownership, but, in the late '80s, Sanshin's president was Mamoru Kawai, the younger son of Junzo Kawai, Maeda/SunTour's chairman.

Sanshin's factory was in Shiga-ken, maybe an hour from Maeda's offices in Sakai-shi. In the mid-'80s they were diversifying a bit into forging auto parts. I don't know what happened to them when Maeda was purchased then went under.

Sanshin made a beautiful ProAm model high-flange hub in the late '70s. The flanges only had 5 cut-outs, leaving a distinctive star-shaped center section. Very nice bearing quality, lots of polish and pretty anodizing."

My 32hole Superbe's are probably anti-christ to yall. Those Sansin are beautiful.

Nah, theyre the same exact hubs, apparently. Yours just have 4 less spoke holes.

sansin :D

and then to Suzue

Has anyone heard much about other Sansin track hubs? I have a set of Sansin Pro-Training hubs that are pretty nice, but I've never been able to figure out what to compare them to.

a small teaser ;) , (just a trying to fit some thing (don't mind the backward tread =P)
