schwinn hi-flange front hub

[robert bell]

what is the going price and availability of a prewar schwinn front high flange non-brake wheel hub ? need to see if I should find one or go forebrake on the wife's 40 schwinn

Depending on condition, $75 - $150

Forebrake will be pricey but I never saw the appeal of the large flange hub. V/r Shawn

Still does nothing for me Marty! If I'm going to upgrade a bike I want some real appeal. I just don't think these add much to a bike. V/r Shawn

Duly noted, Shawn.
I guess it's kind of like the Bluebird appeal thread.
You either like em or you don't.

These Curtis Odom hubs give me goose bumps.

I think I still have one for sale, reasonable.

Marty I was specifically referring to the Schwinn hubs on ballooners. On a high end road bike for sure! V/r Shawn

Personally, I like the way the Schwinn non-braking large flange hubs look, especially the ones drilled for heavy duty spokes.
