I saw an article in one of the online magazines about a company making high flange hubs similar to Campy HF's from back in the day. I had Campy HF's and loved them! Nothing was better than a simachrome pollished Campy hub. Does anyone know who is making these new hubs in high flange? 36 hole?

No but I saw a bike pic posted here a couple days ago (search bike porn) and the hubs on that rig looked just like the old Campy C Recrod (the so called Sherriff's badge hubs). I realized that on this new rig they couldn't be 20 year old hubs so somebody must be making them... Industry Hack... do you know???

I believe Phil and Paul's both make some [damn sexy] high flange hubs.

I'm not sure about the 36 hole drilling though.

Found this on the net... not for the feignt of heart!

I saw a thread about them on another site in the last month or two. Ryan could probably find that before I could. Don't recall if it was discussion of the originals, or of possible new models.

Is it this hub being marketed by Electra (Ticino hubs)?


they are drop dead gorgeous.

Yeah that's them! A direct copy (down to the QRs) of the C Record!

Would that be the thread where 'they' said that everyone who rides the Sheriff Star Hubs has a death wish just because a few of them have failed.

I just re-laced a vintage shimano 36 hole high flange front hub to a shiny new CR-18 rim. Originally I laced it standard 3x but I decided to rebuild the wheel 3 leading, 3 trailing and it is a lot sexier this way. I need to complete the truing/tensioning of it but I lack the requisite tools.

I think that was it.
