If it has an allen lockbolt to hold bearing adjustment, it's not NR (Nuovo Record). It's the generation that got superseded by the current generation. That very useful design applied all the way down to Centaur/Daytona in the previous generation and is still in use in the black Record hubs of today. > A sort of no-expense-or-effort-spared production. Why do they make their > current ugly shit when they can make this? It's likely cheaper to anodize the black finish than to polish the hub to a uniform chrome brilliance. There was an article in a previous Reader about how polishing aluminum parts is a dirty and fairly dangerous job that's fairly expensive. -B -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
