I believe that after the Harden which is excellent, the Chater Lea hub is a fine piece of engineering. Their chroming and hardening are second to none. The problem with them is the fineness of the spoke flanges. It is recommended to build them 4 cross to take the load away from the delicate edges. Another fine type of hub which I would dearly like to add to the collection is the Shellwin.
