No, you are not recalling correctly. We did about 15-20 sets using original campy hubs last year. These 50 use NOS 2nd Gen alloy flanges that have been machined to accept sealed bearings. They are much different.

The new production run of 24" Graphites will arrive here tomorrow, so yours will be out the door here by the end of the week.
