Product Description
The Campy C-Record Sheriff Star pista hubset is the foundation of the most iconic traditional track wheelset out there! These gloriously jewel-like hubs are handbuilt with pro-level vintage details like meticulously tied and soldered spokes and corked nipple beds. The corks in the spoke nipple holes prevent glue from getting inside the rim, preload the nipples so they're less likely to loosen (and thus rims stay true longer) and create a larger surface area for tires to adhere to. Tying and soldering spokes together was intended to stiffen up the wheel when ultralight rims and spokes were used. I don't know who built these, but it's clear they put a lot of effort into making them top tier wheels.
Condition
Near mint to mint with low use! Hubs spin buttery smooth and are cosmetically quite close to mint. They were never used with brakes, and only in a velodrome. Their only real imperfections to note are light scratching on dust caps and the adjoining centimeter or two of flange. Shells and flanges have clear and shiny finishes. Rims cosmetically look almost new. Their only imperfections to note are 3 little scratch/scrapes on the side walls from shop wear (shown accurately in photos). Zero glue residue, but I left the rim tape on to help keep the corks in place (will be easy to remove). Cog shows minimal miles. These are appropriate for most any show bike, even some NOS ones.
