Were the early Mavic hubs annodised? I have a pair of track hubs that were in bad condition when I got them due to bad storage -surface heavily oxidised. I've cleaned them up with emery cloth and polished them and they look great but I'm wondering for how long and if there is anything I can do to protect them, short of getting them (re)anodised. These have a makers mark only on the front hub outboard of the flange I think this makes them pretty early or was this the way all Mavic track hubs were marked?
