Not a Nuke proof hub? What is it? QR conversion question

[ishaw]

UPDATE: 20/10/2016:
Here are some pics of the rear hub now that I have it.

Doesn't seem to be a nuke proof hub. The freehub is a different design as is the hub body.

Can anyone help me ID the hub so I can get some QR converters for it and build up a set of 'spare' dual duty wheels.

The freehub side bolt through adaptor screws on/off (I'm sure the other side dies too, but its not budging by hand) so similar in that respect to the nuke proof design (and I am sure, others), but I am sure that is where the similarity ends. The freehub contains three pawls held in with a wire around them, and it is nice and clicky, and there is a small rubber seal behind the freehub as well. A 4 pin lock ring type affair appears to be in place behind the freehub too, possibly to allow the ratchet ring to be removed?

I also need to change the bearings in the freehub as they are a bit rough, so want to make sure I do this right rather than hammer and hope.



ORIGINAL POST:

I just bought these hubs from the sale section as I want to build a set of spare wheels that can take both disc and rim brakes. I'm not sure what model of nuke proof hub these are, and I want to try and get a QR conversion for the rear as I don't have any new fangled frames that have a bolt through rear end.

Can anyone help ID the rear hub (is it a generator?) and also let me know if there is a qr conversion option for them:

Re: Nuke proof hub ID and qr conversion question

I think they only ever did the generator (well new stuff) and they were/are convertable to QR...

I think anyway...
but CRC/hotlines will probably have all the bits to do it

Re:

Cheers. That's what I thought but the pictured rear hub doesn't quite look like any I can find online so not 100% sure it is one. Maybe an older version or something else? I'll know more when it arrives hopefully.

Re: Nuke proof hub ID and qr conversion question

thats on the assumpion I have the sightest clue what I;m talking about, the front def looks like an original (orignal new style) NP hub.

Time will tell. I'll let you know if you passed the knowledge test.

Updated with fresh pics and new questions now that I have the hub in my possession.

Re:

I may be answering my own question on ID of the hub. Looks to me to be a formula hub:

Now on to find out if a normal QR adaptor set is available.....

Not had much joy on the adaptor front, anyone know of anything? Wish I'd known before I bought the hub it a) wasn't a nuke proof hub and b) had a 12mm axle.
