Suntour Superbe low flange hubs, vs Superbe Pro
I just bought a set of old tubular rims at a good price, because they had a pair of Suntour Superbe hubs. From the photo in the ad, they seem to be these hubs:VeloBase: SunTour Superbe
I haven't picked them up yet, but I'm just wondering: how do they compare to the Superbe Pros? |

So it depends on which version of Superbe Pro you have, whether it's 70s technology, early 80s technology and graphics, late 80s technology and graphics or early 90s technology and graphics. They're all "the best" Suntour/Sunshine had to offer. |
Thanks.
They appear to be the same as the velobase pic with the gold label. |

I don't remember: mismatched tubulars. I plan to use the hubs for a new pair of clinchers...some day.

I haven't picked them up yet, but I'm just wondering: how do they compare to the Superbe Pros? BTW they are easy to identify by the labeling: RH-1000 : Gold sticker with SUPERBE in black lettering (placed axially) BH-1500 : Small lettering radially around center portion of hub body center with 'SUNTOUR SUPERBE PRO' black printed lettering. HB-SB00 : Black printed lettering placed axially on the hub body with two lines small 'SUNTOUR' above a larger 'SUPERBE PRO' If the stickers are warn off or the lettering is no longer visible - THEY ARE WORTHLESS :lol: (At least in my book) BTW, they never overlapped the sale of these models. So there was never a SUPERBE version out at the same time as a SUPERBE PRO. That only happened with the derailleurs and headsets. With things like brakes, cranks and bottom brackets the PRO designation indicates a later generation SUPERBE model and that's all. After 1986 only the Superbe Pro existed. |
Thanks for that info, Don.
