Those Suntour Superbe hubs (with the bronze circle) are the jam. IMHO better than high flange DAs or Suzue Pro Max NJS.
Smooth like butter, build into strong track wheels and they look great. They're all round lovely lovely hubs.
Not the best hubs for street riding as they're loose ball, but if you know how to maintain hubs you can keep 'em rolling for years. Its also hard to find parts for them (ie cones, axles etc) these days which is another reason to treat them well.
Used to fetch a pretty premimum on Ebay, so either they're going to get expensive or the market for NJS bling is cooling off.
