What hub is this?
What hub is this? It has no identifications or markings on it besides the bearings, which say "Made In Japan" on them. It is laced to a 26 inch tubular rim.

Looks like it might be a Phil Wood with the paint removed from the inner hub-shell. Smiles, MH

No end cover. Likely the bearing is cartridge type made by NTN of Japan. With proper jig setup so as not to mar the hub, all press fit. Mill table or precise squared up / aligned drill press works.
