Maxicar high flange hubs 36H CHARREL Jo Routens Singer vintage 1950

A pair of Maxicar high flange hubs, each drilled for 36 spokes. The set carries the names CHARREL, Jo Routens, and Singer, linking it to prominent French constructeurs of the 1950s. This is a period component, not a reproduction, and the photos form an integral record of its current state.

Period Wheel Construction, 36-Spoke Layout

The high flange geometry and 36-hole arrangement define the wheel’s character. Flanges of this profile give a shorter spoke run and a stiffer, more direct feel under load. For a mid-century build, that matches the riding characteristics expected of a hand-built wheelset.

Every surface, mark, and finish detail is documented in the accompanying photographs. They serve as the primary condition report and should be examined before purchase.
