Early Nukeproof hub?

[nevhall]

So I've picked up this wheel with a bunch of other parts and the guy said it was Nukeproof and I have no reason to doubt him, although I've never seen one that isn't carbon or ti. Can anyone shed any light on this? Did they produce all aluminium hubs? Or has someone slapped a sticker on a cheaper hub? It has sealed bearings. Cheers

There was the Superfly model although that doesn't look like them from what I remember.

Maybe you can start your rabbit hole of searching information here:
http://www.bikepro.com/products/hubs/hubs_nuke.shtml
I'd recommend book marking the site as it is a massive repository if information.

Yes I had a set of those.

I’m pretty sure Nuke Proof never produced all aluminum hubs. It doesn’t look like any Nuke Proof hub that I’ve ever seen or owned.

I searched for ages on Friday/Saturday… didn’t find anything, would be interested to know what hub it is! The guy upped the asking price then went quiet on me. Good bundle you picked up there!

Yeah that's identical isn't it. Did you ever find out what year they are? I'd assume early hubs judging by the skinny design.

I bought them from a member on here a few years ago, they were a really light wheel set I remember that.
