So, anyone know of any other UK made hubs from the mid period? I know these:
Rekkas
Georges various ones
Static freecoasters
Emo
Alexs PEs
Any others me old mukkas?
-
I don't know of any mass produced hubs but i know at least one chap who made his own hubs, very similar to gsport/bullseye. Made in a shed in the 90's and still in use!
-
King made axle upgrade kits. Not sure if they were UK made though?
-
Got any pics Ben?
Yeah - I think the King axle upgrade kits (at least the metal collars) were UK made.
-
not sure if Mission hubs were uk made , :-\
-
love rekka hubs, and G-SPORT come to think of it
-
Will have a look at if Missions were made here :daumenhoch: . Know the 70's ones were made abroad (them ones that looked a lot like the second gen Gacks).
Yeah, Rekkas were ace (well, all of the UK ones were ace).
Picky of a rear Rekka axle for awesomeness. 16mm of awesomeness :daumenhoch:

Thems the ones. Crazy expensive weren't they?
Those hubs are nice Ben - they got grub screws in the collars rather than press-fit collars?
-
Yeah grub screws. They've never been cleaned either looking at the state of them. ::)
