This MAVIC 500 RD hubset answers one precise demand: supplying a matching front and rear pair for a wheel build. The 36-hole drilling points toward traditional lace patterns, while the 34.7x100 dimension gives an immediate reference for dropout spacing. No guesswork about what you are looking at.
Hubset Inventory and Build Data
What is actually in front of you matters more than a story. This set comprises two hubs, one front and one rear, both carrying the MAVIC 500 RD marking. The shell count is 36 holes on each. Axle spacing reads 34.7x100. These are the numbers you need before any spoke purchase.
Condition on used components is never uniform. The eleven photographs associated with this listing document the present state. Treat that visual record as the core of the description — the images do the heavy lifting that prose cannot. Look at the flange edges, the dust cap seating, the axle threads. Those surfaces tell you how this pair was stored and what it has survived.
Key specifications

- Spoke holes: 36H (each hub)
- Axle spacing: 34.7x100
- Material: Acier/Aluminium

For a coherent wheel assembly, the hub and rim must agree. A set of MAVIC tubular rims drilled 36/36H can align with this drilling pattern — see the related Mavic 700c tubular rims. If the project is a full drivetrain refresh, the derailleurs category holds the necessary shifting parts from the same era.
The French origin and the MAVIC 500 RD designation place this pair squarely in the vocabulary of period wheel building. It is not a conversation piece for display; it is a component set that still carries its function in the metal.
FAQ

How many spoke holes does each hub have?
Both the front and rear hubs are drilled for 36 spokes. This is stated in the product name as 36H.
What material are these MAVIC 500 RD hubs made from?
The listed material is Acier/Aluminium, meaning steel and aluminium are both present in the assembly.
Where were these hubs produced?
