This classic pre-owned Mavic 501 front and rear hub set features a 32-hole (32H) configuration and standard 1.37x24 threading. Please note that the rear hub bearing requires replacement. The photographs form part of the description.
This high-precision French-made component assembly represents classic mid-to-late 20th-century road mechanics. Featuring high-grade alloy bodies with steel axle components, these hubs are sought after by vintage bicycle restorers looking to assemble period-correct wheels. The set comes with 32-spoke drilling (32H) on both front and rear units, making them an ideal match for double-eyelet alloy rims of the era.
Please review all available images, as these photographs form part of the description. This pre-owned set shows typical light surface wear from previous use. Note a key technical detail before purchase: the rear hub cartridge bearing requires replacement to restore optimal, low-resistance spinning. The front hub rotates smoothly under testing. Spoke holes show minimal stress wear, and the 1.37x24 thread profiles remain clean and ready for freewheel installation.
For those looking to build a historically accurate wheelset, these hubs pair well with classic period-correct hoops. If you require standalone front units for other setups, we also suggest looking at our Mavic 500 550 Vintage Front Hub 36H or the similar Mavic 500 RD Vintage Bicycle Rear Hub 36H as options for alternative spoke patterns.
This rear hub features standard English threading measured at 1.37x24, compatible with most common vintage freewheels.
Yes, while the front hub rotates normally, the rear hub cartridge bearing requires replacement before being installed and ridden.
Both the front and rear hubs in this vintage set have 32 spoke holes (32H) for classic wheel lacing patterns.
