Title: Unknown Hubs, Any Ideas Please?
Post by: monkian on January 19, 2010, 01:58 PM
No marks apart from on the bearings (6000LB NTN) which I think only identifies the bearings!
No steps in the cones (smooth / skinny) Any ideas? Thanks, Paul :daumenhoch:

Actually look like Suzue/Peregrines without the decals to me  :-\

Looks similar to a Suzue Promax Track hub to me.

I don't know anything about Suzue Promax Tracks (you'll have to educate me) ;)
I wasn't sure about Peregrine's but all I had to go by were these loose balls:

Suzue made the Peregrine hubs  ;)

I'm sure they did a sealed bearing version too.  What rims are they laced into?

They're laced to some kind of Araya's.
The loose Ball Peregrines have Suzue stamped on the bearing housing and I think the sealed versions seem to have a larger bearing diameter ???
I don't know if the spec changed over time. Found these, I don't know the date on them but apparently bought in 2009:

Hey Alfredo,
I still don't think we've quite sorted it yet. There's a couple of differences I've spotted on the hubs in your pics.
The cones seem to be a slightly different shape and on the rear (non-threaded side) they have two steps out to the axle (if that makes sense).
There are certain similarities though, perhaps a different year/model? Who knows?

Thanks for your input :daumenhoch:

The shape of the hubs are different too,  I don't hink they are the same.  I stick with Suzue/Peregrine  :daumenhoch:

Thanks Marty :daumenhoch:
Do you think they could be loose ball Peregrines with a Sealed Axle conversion? :-\

It's pretty close but the cones are a slightly different shape due to that lip and they're stamped.
Good section this for reference. Thanks again for your help :daumenhoch:
