Finding old bikes is a treasure hunt and can be fun, but can also be very time consuming and costly. Most times I tell them that an easy search such as “where to buy old school bmx bikes” or “old school bmx for sale near me” will give them some ideas on where to find vintage bicycles. Sometimes it’s a person from an online forum but more often this question comes from someone local who hasn’t been into ABA Racing or Freestyle for decades. Many times I get asked “were do you find all of these old school BMX bikes”. Suzue gave the consumer a no frills hubset that can out perform hubs that cost double or even triple the price. Lots to like about these hubs including a down to earth price.
The swivel washer nuts are a great design and work as good as they look. I can’t say for certain but it seems as if they stickered some hubs improperly over the years, with this set being an example of such. Suzue Sealed Mechanism was their cartridge bearing version like these hubs pictured. This set has the sticker that reads Suzue Sealed Tech, which in most cases specifies looseball bearing with rubber seal. That definitely puts them in the Old School BMX category, but these same type hubs also came stock on Mountain Bikes such as the 1985 Diamondback Apex.

The hub date code reads “5K” on both hubs, which equates to November 1985. Super nice design and very strong hubs that spin great on the stock Japanese bearings. They run (2) cartridge bearings in each hub then have an additional rubber seal over the bearing. I have to say that these hubs are some of my favorites. Here is a super rad set of Suzue Hi-Flange hubs in 36 hole.
