NukeProof Hubs?

[kingoffootball]

There's not many pictures on this thread

I picked up the front wheel as a bargain and then spent a long time looking before finding a similar, but not identical rear hub (that was a real hassle to actually get). I've bought a NOS X221 rim to match the front, so I just need to get it built up and I can use the set .... possibly on the Aende.

No idea of year or model of either hub.

Re:

Not my pic, but this is the same model as the hub I sold recently.
Maybe the Carbon Mk2? very "spindly" looking hub. Rough carbon weave, yellow decal.

And an interesting, if not a little worrying, thread...

I've owned many sets of NP hubs, most of which are cracked at the flanges. This said, I know riders who have hammered on the early carbon NP cassette hubs for years with no cracks. The ones shown in KingofFootball's post are the later Atom Bomb/Bombshell versions which are stouter and supposedly hold up better.

That's good to know.

How about these

SuperFly hubs. Much later, like 98- No experience.

The carbon ones are cooler than the Superfly ones. (even though the golden ones posted above are pretty cool). The freehub is Shimano so I replaced the standard steel one on mine with the XTR Ti freehub body making the hub even lighter.

Re:

Cracked,,and crack starting on drive side also.

if you have the time, money and inclination… the hubs could be salvaged:

hope it never comes to that with my set of ti Nukeproof hubs, that i'm building up for my Thunderbolt:
