Product Description
Hi-E hubs were produced out of Tennessee from about 1972 into the early 1990's. The rear high-low version is a rare one, Campagnolo & Phil Wood made similar hubs with high flange on one side and low flange on the opposite. They were an engineering marvel at their time, featuring smooth sealed cartridge bearings and styling that would be more at home in the 1990's aerospace CNC anodized era. They were right there with Weyless hubs stylistically for the era.
Charlie Cunningham, Steve Potts, Ibis, etc worked with these hubs a lot in the 70's and early 80's. Engraved logo indicates this is a later model as does the 130mm spacing.
Condition
