These Record 1035 hubs (date code 1972) are begging me to build up and mount on my Miyata. I'm inspired by the badass black '80s bike from which they were acquired/saved/confiscated.
Hubs in question. Sshhh. They know they have mismatched skewers. Don't say anything.
Bike in question
I've really never ridden high-flange hubs very long on a go-fast keeper. Talking clinchers here. So no glue huffing.
I'm wondering ...
1) Will I notice a difference between these and low-flange hubs? I am pretty sensitive.
2) Would dark anodized rims look totally wack? Too risky? Anyone do that with shiny high-flange hubs? Got pics?
