Wanted: Polished hubs

Posted on
  • I'm looking for a pair of 32h high flange polished hubs of decent quality. Thought I'd ask here before ordering Phils from the states.
    Thanks

  • Check out the Goldtec's in Shop 14?

    I think they're £150 a set and they're made in the UK

  • any pair-> strip -> caustic soda + H20 -> polish -> put back together

    +1 these are super nice.

  • +1 these are super nice.

    I didn't see them for sale yesterday. There were some kinda brushed silver goldtecs on display but also some gorgeous nickel coated ones on an alu frame that I think belongs to Dustin (?). I was told these arent available to the humble customer:(

    Was also thinking of polishing some up but if they are aluminium or similar alloy wouldn't the tarnish?

  • Err they are definately on sale at 14. PM Sano.

  • I think maybe i did see them, are they the goldtec pros? Polished but not quite chrome?

    Thanks all, doesnt matter any more -found myself some Macks :)

  • Just curious, where'd you find some polished Macks? Or did you order from the man himself?

  • I got orange ones. I was originally searching for orange but couldn't find anything decent so compromised and looked for chrome.

  • buy any hub you like and have it polisehed

  • Ok. Might have to bite the bullet and put an order in with Mack I guess. Was just cringing over the 6-7 weeks lead time.

    Arbitrator - true but I'd rather not spend extra if I can avoid it.

    Cheers.

  • I got mine from David at Active life logistics, nice guy to deal with.
    He has a few colours in stock

    if polished to a high lustre, the finish last a fair while ie normal phils

  • +1, I've had a set of Phils for well over a oyer I ride them in all weathers. They're still shiny (as long as I clean the road shite off them, that is).
