Hi all,

I'm working on reconstructing my vintage 1982 Ellis-Briggs #3 and have a question about its Mavic hubs.

I posted a couple of pics on wool jersey:

Does anyone recognize these? Are they sealed bearing, sealed, or regular?

Is it possible to shift the axle in this kind of hub, so as to create a tad more freewheel-to-seatstay clearance (assuming a wheel retrue/rebuild as well)?

TIA,
