Just a recent experience with the Normandy Hubs: yuk. I hadn't rebuilt a pair since 1975 and between then and now I've not rebuilt any with such sloppy manufactureing. Just trying to get the cones and locknuts threaded was a chore on all four axle ends compared to any Tipo, Record , Sansin, 105, etc. I was so enamoured of my U-08 and those nice hubs back in the day. Maybe my Normandys were from a bad batch. But they were/are on my Grand Jubile!
