Most well made single component you have worked on?

[Cicli]

I just cleaned and greased a silvery set of Record hubs. These are very well made and a joy to work on. These still had the original white grease in them that was clean and in good order. But, I didnt know that and cleaned them up anyway. Phil grease it is.
How about you?

I did the same thing with a set of Fulcrum Racing Zero wheels/hubs and found those to be an outstanding design as well. Anything Chris King as well.

I never had to do more than clean them up, but I built a few sets of wheels with Mavic hubs & those are my all time favorite bike part. So smooth, so fast.

Suntour Superbe Pro rear derailleur. I shed a tear at "progress" since then.

ultegra 6500 hubs. respoked a few times but never touched the hub adjustment

Ultegra Octalink bottom bracket (don't remember the exact model code) that is currently on my daily driver.

That thing's been running forever, through all sorts of conditions, with no complaints at all.

Huret Duopar Titanium rear derailleur.

Phil rear cassette hub. Just so perfectly made; will be around with the cockroaches and Keith Richards when the world ends.

Look ZED2 crankset. True work of art to ride, service, and look at. All cranksets should be made this way.

Ee brakes. Everything is really well thought out.

King headset - wipe and done

Pretty lofty target to shoot down. I can only beat it on value, as Daytona/Centaur hubs were virtually the same at half(?) the cost. There was a 20 gram difference in weight...

Nuovo/Super/C-Record rear derailleur. Completely serviceable down to the parallelogram pins and bushes. I put together a rear derailleur using assorted new component parts from all three which served me well for years and remains in great condition waiting patiently for its next new old frame...

King stuff is really beautiful and complex.

DT stuff is really beautiful and simple.

I recently sold a White Industries ENO rear wheel and that hub was pretty slick.

Dynaplug. They are not a bike part but the plugging device for tubeless tires. Their cnc and attention to detail is incredible.
