I've looked around and except for Sheldon brown's tiny mention cant find much? Normandy hubs say "made in france" on them no numbers that I can see so far. I know it's not much to go on just trying to figure out what I got? Hot or Not?

Warm.
But seriously, depends on what you want. I've used Normandy hubs in the past with no problems. Medium Quality 70s/80s.

Yeah I kinda figured. Just thought I'd see. They work just fine for the moment. Thanks Fruitbat.

not, as you need to run french sprockets, which are a pain in the ass to find. otherwise risk threading hubs, then you;re fucked

I'm fairly sure that Normandy made hubs with English threading, though I am getting old and dementia is creeping in.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
