Help me ID these fairly non-descript hubs

  • I'm trying to find out what these hubs are. All I know is that they're Shimano, high flange road hubs with QR. As far as I know, they're nothing special, I'm just interested :)

  • Well, they look like bicycle hubs. Probably cheap shimano ones from the early 80's. They have quick release and are for a road bike, and Silver in colour.

  • A fair prognosis, though on one point I think you need clarification - the axles, cones and locknuts are in fact black.

  • What does it say on the QR levers?

  • Do they have any letters or numbers stamped in, anywhere, at all?
    Shimano has been using a 2 letter date code since 1976.

  • I'll let you know about the stamp and lever markings when they arrive; those are just the ebay photos (I'm probably jumping the gun). I didn't know they date stamp components, so with luck that and the VeloBase site should solve my minor mystery. Thank you all :)

    Edit: A quick look at VB makes me think that they're perhaps HC-110 or HB-6110 with the decal gone; it's hard to see from the photos whether or not they have the distinguishing lip on the edge of the flange.

  • lip on the edge of the flange.

    nice

  • Whoops.

    I should have said 'the bulging rim'
