<------------------ SOLD ------------------> Weyless hubs - 2 front / 1 rear - new bearings (USED)

Weyless quick release hubset - small flange design - non-anodized aluminum alloy barrels and flanges - stainless steel annular sealed bearings - Teflon dust seal - oversized aluminum alloy axles - countersunk spoke holes - 36h model W-HF front hub (100 mm spacing) - 36h model W-HR rear hub (122 mm spacing) - 1.370" x 24 TPI English freewheel thread - grouped model W-H ... [USED - two front hubs / one rear hub - moderate signs of use from a cosmetic standpoint but only just fitted with brand new annular sealed bearings - because these hubs have a non-anodized finish, a little bit of effort with some Simichrome or Maas polishing cream will have them gleaming in short order - then go down to your local hobby store and purchase some 0.075" thin black striping tape, apply two lines of this to the center of the hub barrels, and these will look very close to new (...most especially after they have been built up into a wheelset) - please note that in their original configuration, these hubs require special quick release mechanisms having an oversized 0.25" center rod - I have purposefully left the end caps off of each hub so that the new owner has the option of installing said caps "as is" and using these hubs in conjunction with a set of original QR skewers ... OR ... having any competent machine shop craft a replacement set of end caps having smaller 0.175" openings at their ends such that these hubs could thereafter be used with any industry standard quick release mechanism - also, it would be worth noting that it is a relative snap to reset the OLD on one of these vintage Weyless rear hubs from 122 mm (...standard five speed or narrow six speed) to 126 mm (...standard six speed or narrow seven speed) or even 132 mm (...standard seven speed) by machining an appropriately sized spacer (...4 mm or 10 mm respectively) to be placed over the axle in front of the drive side end cap - Weyless hubs were introduced to market midway through the year 1975 in concert with an advertising campaign that boldly proclaimed "Move Over Campy!". Prior to that point in time, Weyless had managed to achieve a measure of success in the cycling world with their high quality indoor rollers upon which Jack Simes set a World Roller Riding Record during the 1975 International Cycle Show held in New York City (...an impressive 681.6 miles in 24 hours - an average of 36.7 mph after discounting minutes spent sleeping or otherwise not actually riding the rollers during that 24 hour period). While they would ultimately end up offering component versions of Weyless hubs (...licensed from a Bill Shook design), seat posts (...another Bill Shook item that would later re-appear under his American Classic label during the 1980’s), pedals (...originally a Bob Reedy design used under license), water bottle cages (...yet another Bill Shook piece that would see reincarnation under American Classic), and water bottles (...manufactured by Mariplast and branded with a Weyless logo) in addition to those training rollers and a broad range of clothing items, Weyless would succumb to dealer / distribution problems, comparatively high domestic wage rates, and a sagging U.S. economy, going out of business before the end of the decade - the Weyless brand of Asian made components which have most recently been sold as the house brand for SuperGo has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING in common with the 1970’s U.S. based company other than they have cleverly capitalized by "borrowing" a defunct name]
