Dear Listees,

I have a sort of mystery Campy rear track hub that is looking for an explanation.

It is a large flange "no-record" early track type hub but it has no stepped-down reverse threaded provision for a lockring. Weird. At first I thought perhaps someone might have stripped the lockring thread and had it removed by a machinist. But the rounded profile of the hub shell makes me question that. There doesn't seem like there was any stepped-down section at all to begin with. The flange spacing definitely is wider than that of a regular road hub. I have some photos posted on the Wool Jersey Gallery :

Has anyone seen or heard of something like this ?

Thanks,
