to turn green from envy :p - I got enough of looking at your beautiful track hubs while fighting with my converted one. Here are the ones I have ordered:

7075 alu, heat treated, I can choose the number of holes.
Do not ask why the high flange ones are called keirin-male (90mm flange prototype pictured, actual production version is 75mm).

eh...

Is somebody in Poland making track high flange hubs?

zip22 11-10-05 12:27 AM

i thought somebody posted about these a while back, but at that time they weren't available for sale yet. where are they from? and did you order a color?

icithecat 11-10-05 12:29 AM

sniff... sniff.......... oportunity?

vobopl 11-10-05 12:30 AM

Yes.

vobopl 11-10-05 12:33 AM

I did post about them back in spring. They are alu colour (even high flange ones, the colour there is PS only) but last time I have checked they can be anodised at small additional charge. They look OK on hi-res images, I will post my impressions when I get the hubs.

1) I do not know, however last time I was in Berlin they didn't use hiragana ;)

Thanks to our twin lame ducks in politics the exchange rate rose to 3.4PLN to $.
Price is 130 PLN for LF F, 170 LF R, 210 HF F, 250 HF R

these?

300 Zlotys for the low flange set?
460 for the high flange?

so, $80 and $145 respectively. that's pretty cheap.
this will definetly require an update int the future,

Yes, it looks like the same hubs. Yup, that's the price I am paying. I will keep you posted.

Bumping with update:
The guy actually hand makes them, accommodates any whims regarding hole count and can do medium high flange - I ordered LF but got an offer I couldn't resisit for a MF one.

The one pictured is to complement Shamal rims, so takes 16 aero (3.1mm) spokes. The manufacturer stands by his product even with such a low spoke count and semi radial lacing :-).

Tests assembled before final polishing and anodising. I like how the lockring rim goes over the cog threads - using any width cog wouldn't be the problem.

So how much would a polished low-flange 130mm rear 36-hole fixed-fixed flipflop cost me? :D

vobopl 12-02-05 03:38 AM

I am paying ~$50 fro mine LF, 32 hole.

LóFarkas 12-02-05 04:25 AM

Woo-hoo, that's cheap! But how does that work out if a f+r pair costs 145? :scratches head: Tell me in Zlotys...

vobopl 12-02-05 05:48 AM

Hey, Low Flange set is $80, Rear low flange fixed-fixed flip-flop is $50. It is High Flange set that is $145.

sohi 12-02-05 06:41 AM

Very cool. I have no money to spend on a fancy (for me) hub at the moment, but I'm seeing a new hub coming to me in the spring. Please report on the hubs once you are riding them. Do they have cartridge bearings? Standard replaceable threaded axle?

Oh, and do you have any more info? Link to the maker? Or is it just that somebody in a machine shop makes hubs if you ask him real nice?
