Our take
Finding vintage tandem parts can be a challenge, so this Specialized Tandem Rear Hub with 48 spoke holes is quite specific. The 135mm width and nutted attachment are characteristic of older tandem setups. The threaded freewheel compatibility means it's not for modern cassette systems, so buyers need to be aware of that limitation. The aluminum and steel construction strikes a balance for durability and weight for a rear hub. At $57.84, it's a specialized item at a reasonable price for its niche, ideal for someone restoring a period-correct tandem or needing a robust hub for heavy-duty use.
