Have inc photos.3rd and 4th are my original set with coneshimmy things lol thanks

Help with Spin Wheels

Hi, I got some amazing advice on here before that lead to my Pace forks being rebuilt, so now I have a new question. I have a set of Spin Thermoplastic Carbon wheels, which I love. I've had them from new, which must have been about 20 years ago. The hubs haven't been serviced for well over 10...

My understanding is that the earlier hubs had pin spanner dust covers, whereas the later ones didn’t and on the the axles/bearing pre load was set with with a 5mm hex and a cone spanner (at least that’s what mine do I think they’re the later ones).

I can assure you there's no way any of the Spin wheels when new were shipped without axle ends with the skewers intended to bear the brunt of the wheel/bike. If they're missing the rotted out because of an unlike metal skewer, were filed off, or sheared off.
