Made by the same manufacturer that used to make Shutter Precision hubs
Does that mean that Shutter Precision no longer makes SP hubs?
I have two SP hubs, both PV-8, one from 2013 and one from 2017. I bought the 2013 hub on line shipped from Taiwan because I could not find a dealer in USA that sold them so I might have one of the first ones made, but by 2017 everybody seemed to sell them. There is a slight difference in the shape, the center band where the printing is on my older one that band is much more rounded in shape. Otherwise the old and newer ones look identical.
