10-2-26


Both of these hubs are about 8 years old. They've been on one commuter or another for that entire time with essentially no maintenance. The rims finally wore out so I decided it was time to build a couple new wheels. Since the hubs had been freed from their wired captivity it seemed a good time to refurbish them. The top has been re-polished, the bottom shows how it looked before all four stages of sanding and a final stage of polish. They were pretty dull but the finish on both (the other hub has also been cleaned up since the photograph was taken) have been returned to liquid.
