What kind of track hubs have quick-releases and axle extensions for multi-cog freewheels?

Neat bit of Campy history, though.

Yup, those are 30 year old Campag road hubs. You could ride them fixed, but chainline will be a total PITA.

why did they make the hi-lo hub for road use? I thouhgt the whole purpose of the hi-lo hub was for the high flange side to face outward, creating more support on the side of the wheel that is up track.

NOW, I am completely confused as to why these hubs exist in our universe.

drive side with high flange is "stiffer" while non-drive side is a little more forgiving.

Back in the day (circa 1970)s before the influx of "exotic" meterials liek aluminum and titanium (even at the sharp end of the sport, the pro-tour) and years before Carbon-Fiber...high end bike manufaturers (like Campag) where trying everything to reduce weight by using different steel alloys. Given wheels are rotational weight one of the areas they focused on, especially Campag, was making lighter (quicker accelerating) wheels. Rims back there were pretty much all the same (give or take) and low spoke counts were not really possible (by modern 20h standards). So manufacturers played with light-weight spokes and different spoke threading patterns. These Campag hubs (from what I remember) were from that time of "light-weight spokes". The high flange on the drive side was to make that side stiffer, I also think I remember that side had less spokes (to balance the wheel) on it with a more stout spoke pattern that needed the high flange. Not to mention they always make road hubs drive side stiffer, even today. It's just with better materials now you see less exaggerated designs.

I don't think these hubs are that rare. Not something you see everyday, but not super rare.

They have even dish but they still have uneven forces on the wheels - drive side versus nondriveside. They also experience different stresses on the banking... maybe.

If you go to the eBay page you referenced, even the seller calls them "NIB Campagnolo Record HI LO Road Hubs Sealed Mint"

Not sure where you got the idea they were track hubs.

The Classic Rendezvous page you referenced is a Photoshop job, not a real hub. Hi/Lo *REAR* road hubs did exist (IIRC, Hi-E started the fad); Campy and Suzue made them for a couple years in the late 70s but people eventually lost interest in them.

^agreed. Money spent in the wrong place, like an ill-fitting frame, for one. Those cranks are being wasted.

wtf are you guys talking about? it's a cinelli track frame w/ campy track components. what's wrong w/ that?

As far as the fit goes, you have no idea whether that bike fits the owner or not. The saddle is high, but you can never tell how someone fits on a bike until yous ee them on it.

EDIT: I guess nothing can compete w/ this, though...



that's pretty sick...

That cinelli is a great build, all you haters don't know what you're talking about.

Also that ocean is boring in it's uniformity.
