Question about Campagnolo hubs, Model?
I'm going through my basement and I guess that I sort of forgot that I had these. Nearly all of my hubs are high flange but this is the only pair of Campy hubs I have that have the fun little clip that you can remove to reveal the "oil filler" hole.
They are laced to an older pair of Mavic Open 4 CD's and I'm thinking that these were mid-80's but may be off.
Can anybody tell me the model of hub and am I in the ball park w/ a mid-80's guesstimate?
They feel sticky and slow, so I guess I know what I'm working on next weekend...

Interesting. I can't recall seeing that model of hub. Try checking the cone locknuts for a date code. I have a set of 80's hubs with CAM41 stamped on them. They are 1987, I think.

Thanks Retyred,
All that I'm seeing so far is "Campagnolo Brevetti Internazionali" on the body, but "ll look for the code on the locknuts w/ a toothbrush and some thinner

Jeepers Creepers Stan,
You are the best reference guy on the net!! (You weren't by any chance a master Cat Burgler who robbed a library in the past, were you?
)
I should hope that these are of at least decent quality and worth cleaning/re-packing w/ some fresh grease..? I've never heard of anything but Record/Super Record from the 80's...

Thanks for the help guys,
I just found this on Sheldon's site thanks to Scooper nailing the model:
"Croce d'Aune ®
A late '80s Campagnolo gruppo (named for the mountain pass where Tullio C. got the idea for the quick-release hub) only made for a year or two. It does not index with current shifters, it went with the obsolete "Synchro" system, which hardly anybody could get to work. "
I'm sure that these will be just fine w/ one of my older bikes....

chorus was there. Croce was a kind of filler group whilst campy got their act together. The croce delta brakes are a little different, the rear derailleur had that strange pushrod thingie, and the hubs were c-record, but no dustcaps over the locknuts.
Strange, short run, and that means more collector appeal...

Another difference between them and C-Record is the spot-facing of the spoke holes
on the outer portion of the flanges. Definitely "Collector Quality".

I'm raising this semi-zombie thread because it seems like the best source on this hub style.
The wheels I just bought show the dust caps, which were not present on the OP's bike. Seems like the consensus was that this style was in use for a few years from around 1989-92. But was this style limited to the Croce D'aune group? I have seen mention elsewhere that other levels might have had a similar look during that time period.
