Early Mavic wheels circa 1993. Full set for $210 shipped to UK. I'm in the US so shipping to other countries will be adjusted accordingly.

What are the hubs and how many spokes per wheel?

 

[Octsoc]

The hubs are Mavic hubs. Spoke counts are radial x 36 front, radial x 12 non-drive, 3 cross x 24 drive side rear.

Intrigued by these as they don't look like any Mavic hubs I recognise.

What's the story?

They came with a 93/94 Merlin that I bought. The owner insisted they were Mavic wheels but there were no markings on the hubs that say it at all. I started a thread asking if anyone could confirm it but no one could. I then saw some later models Mavic and recognize the resemblance based on the asymetric rear hub set up. Also the Merlin came loaded with a lot of good stuff, no good reason for me to believe they are no name brand hubs.

They look like cool wheels and am sure they are high end but the asymmetric spoke pattern could be used on any wheels tbh.

They look remarkably like Bullseye hubs (except the cassette freehub body, I have only ever seen Bullseye with screw type)

I don't believe they're MAVIC hubs either, but I've no idea what they might be.

Point of order: the rear drive side spokes are four-cross.
