I don't often build with these and I don't own any put a pair of new campag pista hubs arrived for a customer track build which I have done. When I rotated the hub axle all feels fine but when I spin the wheel and hold the axle it feels well a bit rough. It spins alright but a 5700 hub is smoother. Opening the hubs up and adjusting the conces does nopt cure the problem.
I don't believe it will get better with time. Again the axle rotate smoothy while holding the hub stil so I could not tell until the wheel was assembled. Too bloiodly late now. Any cure or a bad hub?
This is not what I expect from Campag hub and I don't want to have to strip a new hub down.

Is this a brand new hub from a shop/distributor? Could the grease be contaminated or something? Seems very unlikely, although aren't Campag track hubs unsealed?
Take it apart and check the cones and inner bearing surfaces to see if there's any damage. If not I'd clean everything and regrease. If it's the same there's something amiss and contact Campag service.
BTW I sometimes think Campag put too much grease in their hubs.

Hi,
That's probably all it is. Buy any Campa wheel or hubs with cups and cones nowadays and you'll find grease everywhere inside of it.
Ciao,

That's what was going to do, I just don't want to. I really shouldn't have too on high end new hubs. The post many was to warn that campag pista hubs are not always buttery smooth.
I suppose I find out whats wrong when I strip it down. Pain.
