I found this in my box of bits and I've changed the bearings. I also have a 7 speed freewheel which is brand new. Do I sell it or find something to put it on?

The only carbon hubs I remember are NukeProof and X-Terra. Interesting!

Pace? Though I think theirs was really 'fat' bodied compared to that one. How many spokes is it for?

See the link above for a good source of infomation about this kind of kit.

I suspect they are the original Nuke Proof, the dimension & "carbon weave" look similar - Nuke Proof were more well know for making the first 'non Shimano' aftermarket hubset with a free-hub body (I think).

As what to do with them - that's up to you!

hmm from that link I found this, which is a Pace hub from 1992, looks similar in deisgn (esp the axle) only alu not carbon.

Only has the '92 catalogue though so can't tell if a carbon version of this hub came later?

was just gonna say, the Nukeproof in this article (under the Pace incidentally) looks just like it (albeit the front version)!
