Rodney "PK" Handsfield asked:

"I've recently come into possession of 2 pairs of wheels built on Campy Record hubs. For reasons unknown, all of the hubs (2 front, 2 rear) lack their dust covers. Does anyone on the list have 4 pair the'd like to sell? thanks for looking."

I have a few sets of these dustcovers. They were commonly removed from track wheels when the rider would oil the bearings instead of using grease. I'm rather dubious as to whether the oil truly reduced rolling resistance but that belief was quite widespread. I would be quite surprised if these are road hubs.
