.. and no grease-port/steel clip in the centre of the barrel.
IIRC the bearing race inserts on Tipo may have been a step down in quality from the ones used in Record- cheaper production process, or a step left out of the Record production process, or something..

what do you mean?Midlife":2bpajjp6 said:
later Record also had curved skewers, but the lever was nutted onto the skewer as opposed to circlipped on. Also the other end of the skewer was a coned adjuster incorporating a wingnut arrangement.
The locknuts on the axle were simple flats instead of the meaty ones with cone spanner slots.
I was never sure about bearing quality, I found tipo just as good with a substantial price difference

I think Midlife was referring to the cutouts in the flanges on LF Tipos.
Regarding bearing quality- I could never afford Record anyway, so I can't compare. I've got no complaints about the pair of Tipos I've been using for the past 30 years.

Tipo are nice hub, in fact they are a very early version of the single-piece design, earlier Campagnolo GS and Sport (v.rare) had separate flange castings. Tipo and Record hubs are very similar minus the following differences.
1. Cups - Bearing cups on Record were ground with heat-treated surfaces where as the Tipo versions were just pressed on.
2. Size - The outside diameter of the Record front hub cup is larger than the Tipo. Front locknut and spacers are also different.
3. Skewer - As mentioned above, different design
4. Oil port - None on Tipo
