Ok, so how strong are old hubs and will they stand up to dirty hipster skids? Am i just going to strip the crap out of them in no time flat :?
Just got 3 sets of 70’s fixed wheels, nice stuff, Zeus, Normandy, Suese hubs on Fiamme, Araya and Weinmann rims. Has anyone had any experience with things such as these and what happened. I don’t really want to go out and strip out 3 sets of nice old wheels and then have to fork out for a new set of V’s or something. I’m guessing the best way forward is to keep one set for the whole period thing and buy a set of V’s for thrashing on the streets. Any ideas?
Cheers.
I wouldn’t exactly call them nice, but rest assured if you strip them as you say, it will be no great loss…

So these are all those beautiful wheels from that ebay lot…
I’ve got an old wheel and hub - handmade rim and i think it’s a Sansin hub. Been riding it for about a year no problems, but then i don’t really thrash it. Plus it’s got nice DT spokes.
Sorry they’re not Campy/ NJS poser goodness 
, they aren’t the flashest things going but to someone on my kind of budget they are nice… ish.
Definately gotta take them in for a tighten up though, spokes are all a bit on the loose side.
Any way i’ve decided to keep one set around and get a set of v’s when the tax return comes around.
Thanks for the words tally, at least someone had a clue
