About this product
This is a vintage Specialized Hub Set, comprising a front and rear hub, both with 40 spoke holes and a quick-release attachment style. Designed for tandem bikes, these high-flange hubs feature sealed bearings and a 140mm length. The set is made from aluminum and comes in a silver color. As 'NOS' (New Old Stock), they are unused vintage components suitable for restorations or new builds requiring robust, period-correct parts for tandem bicycles.
Our take
For those seeking robust vintage parts for a tandem, this Specialized Hub Set is a significant find. The 40-hole count on both front and rear hubs means exceptional strength, crucial for tandem use, and the high-flange design is a classic touch. Featuring quick-release skewers is convenient for wheel removal, and sealed bearings suggest better durability and smoother operation than traditional cup-and-cone. The 'New Old Stock' designation is a huge plus, meaning you get unused vintage quality. While the 140mm length is specific and needs to be checked for frame compatibility, for $169.99, it's a solid investment for a dedicated tandem build or restoration.
