Wanted Campagnolo gran sport track hub rear or pair

Hello

Does anyone have a rear 36 hole Campagnolo gran sport rear hub or pair for sale please?

Thank you

Nuovo Tipo (I think) any good as an alternative?

Sounds interesting, think they were made a bit later weren’t they and all from alloy rather than three piece? Would be interested to see a photo if possible please and discuss the details. Thank you

PM'd

Thanks much appreciated.

Still looking if anyone does have any GS hubs? Thank you

I'm sure I have one of the hubs but built up as a wheel, plus from memory I reckon it will be laced to a 40 hole rim, not 36 hole like you're after. Actually I feel that most of these 50's hubs will be 40 hole as this was very popular in that era, so you might have difficulty finding the 36 hole although I'm sure they exist. And especially with the later Campag stuff there were more 36 hole ones.

Thank you these are some really good points! Makes sense re the spokes and that will likely be a case of finding a 40hole hub.

Have been having a think and also curious about the size of the drop outs on the frame as it’s built in the 60’s, but think that some of the GS axles would not be 10mm diameter and have the narrower axles.
Will have a look on the frame when it arrives, do you happen to know if the narrower 50’s axles can be used on later drop outs for 10mm axles by any chance please?

Thanks

OK well I'm glad to be of some help, but not quite sure if you're really set on Campag for a 36 hole hub, or perhaps would consider other brands from perhaps the 60s or thereabouts. If you would, then I might have something for you, although most likely it will be a fixed/freewheel hub, not the pure track one. As for your axle question, I was aware that front wheel gran sport hub axles were narrower but not sure about the rear hubs. I actually pulled out a set of Gnutti hubs where I measured the axle width and it came up around a millimeter narrower than a standard/modern front wheel axle. The rear one was the standard 10mm. BTW you might be interested to know that it was actually Fratelli Brivio (branded as FB) who made the Gran Sport hubs, rebranding some of them as Campag hubs. They actually did this for the above Gnutti hubs too. I think that Campag made the axles and races/cones though, as these are always Campag branded, so possibly was a joint effort of the two companies. So if you're dead set on having the Gran Sport hub design, you could increase your chances of finding one by searching for Gnutti, FB (they look exactly the same besides the logos) and possibly also specifying fixed/freewheel hubs instead of just the purist one sided track hubs. Also, the 10mm axle I measured above was a quick release hollow axle- proper track axles are always solid, so perhaps these ones are actually the narrower diameter you're thinking of?
