Identify this track hub?
 
Hi all, it's been a while since i've posted in these forums but could you help me out? There are no markings on this flipflop hub and i'm curious to know the manufacturer! It seems good quality, the bearings spin freely for long time.

Thanks!

They look kind of like Mavics :

(clearly not the same year, of course)

What's the threading on them?

Standard English threading on both sides. Thank you for the info, they do look very similar to mavics. Maybe they're from a different year!

I was thinking it might be an old shimano track hub, perhaps Ultegra? (although i'm not sure shimano ever made ultegra track hubs).

The other thing .. maybe O.M.A.S? I do find it strange that there is no branding on it!

Mavic track hubs are marked on the outside of the flange AFAIK.

It looks like a one off from the 90's CNC craze

Yeah maybe it's a one off. Most track hubs are high flange, a low flange track hub is not a common sight. If it was a mavic or some other old track hub, why would it be flipflop?

Gimme a break.

Formulas come in low flange, campys come in low flange, phils come in low flange, dura ace is low flange, miche is low flange.

Come on.
