Obsessive searching for vintage mountain bikes and components. Some occasional road bike love too.

WTB Hubset(s)

Picked up two WTB hubsets - a "good" one and a "bad" one. Over time WTB transformed from the first, and best, maker of ultra-high end mountain bike components to a mass-market OEM lever producer. WTB still makes some tires that find favor, but the company isn't really the same.

This first hubset is transitional with the WTB classic Grease Guard front and the New Paradigm rear but with the old-tyme high-gloss anodizing.



This second hubset is the mass-market type but the rear hub still seems decent ... I hope it is at least!
