Hi Peppercorn2000
The hubs that I currently run are a good 12 years old now and the name goldtec was taken over by a company called betd a few years ago now.I have 2 sets of hubs,my first pair (Black with a gold centres) are built onto 28h mavic ceramic rims and these are the ones that i have had for some time now.My second pair (Silver with gold centres) are from a set of hubs I had custom drilled about ten years ago and were stored away in a cupboard all this time until I discovered last year that corima were manufacturing carbon clincher rims in the exact specs I was looking for,So I purchased the rims seperatly and had them built by a very good wheelbuilder friend of mine with wheelsmith double butted spokes which are very strong and very light.
The great feature of the old style goldtec hubs (which were made by a small company in south wales and designed by Jason Carpenter) was that the whole freehub body and cassette could be removed without any tools and a different cassette could be just slotted on,The freehub floats on a spindle coated with titanium nitride and lubricated with runny oil which also helps keep the high grade INA bearings running so smoothly.Unfortunatly as 515mm said in his post as the same company is no longer going spare parts are hard to track down and soon my hubs will be useless all because the pawls are starting to show signs of wear,If anyone out there knows where I can find parts then let me know
Hope all this has helped
