Can anyone identify this Titanium hub?!

I know it's early as I bought it 2nd hand mid nineties from memory and it is fairly basic. Never new who made it though...any ideas?

Bullseye?

Flanges are wrong for Bullseye, plus they did not make a hub with a freehub.

Are you sure the centre sleeve is Ti? How did you test it?

It was sold to me as Ti and it certainly looks like Ti. It is the right colour and finish (I know the pics are a bit rubbish). Without doubt it is definitely a raw metal finish with no lacquer or anodising or corrosion, I've tried scratching it wheel steel and is also not magnetic.

Certainly has me puzzled.

Looks a bit TNT'ish

they do but must be earlier, if so, than the one I remember,where other is a bit of central flange and the flange tip are rounded and not angled.

hmmm, not sure, all the TNT ones appear to have a rounded fillet machined on the interface between the flange and sleeve. This one has a right angled juncture if you see what I mean :?:


just seen fluffychicken's post - I think we're saying the same thing

I've definately seen another set before - that very abrupt 90 degree fitting between the central shell and the flange rings a distinct bell.

Possibly an early Nuke Proof Ti hub ? It's got a Shimano Freehub body and axle lock nuts.
