    Oh no, not this again. :lol:

    The last time this came up we ended up with Formula, DT and Shimano hubs, all from the same wheels and some even from the same year...

    (On mine they were bog standard Shimano M525's with Bonty logo's on them)

    There are some wheelsets on OEM bikes with other hubs I'm sure, if you buy the wheels aftermarket they're a fairly non descript hub though, will be from a Chinese manufacturer like Chin Huar who will sell the same hubs with other logos I'm sure. Doesn't make them bad though.

    However, I don't think they're 32h though, so rebuilding them onto other rims will be difficult.
