Pro Class Hubs???

As ever, I've had them all guys.

Off the shelf, most UK wheels have Suzue sealed hubs. I know, as in 1983 I bought a pair of Tuffs and rode my Cali off every ramp I could. My dad put my Pro-class wheels in the shed for a rainy day, and 25 years later found them again, so a quick trip to get re-spoked down my LBS and ta-da, here they are :daumenhoch:



I've also bought a lot from the States, and my Minigoose 1-3/8" came with Suzues. However, all the 1.75 wheels I have imported came with SR hubs. Mmmm, go figure that one out eh?

Oh, all of them were low-flange. Nothing with large flange has passed through my grubby mitts, and I've had 8 sets now.... :angel:

I also had one from the UK with a Shimano hub, but that had definitely been raced so could easily have been re-built.

These were all UK sourced with Suzues:

Right then - shows how good my memory is  :uglystupid2:  Mine are low flange SR hubs and these are 1.75 survivors bought from the states, I also had a look through the US mongooses catalogues and the 83 and 84 catalogues don't have a spec sheet but the 85 says they're SR :



Maybe suzue was just a UK thing  ???
