The pins and adapters both are machined to a 60 degree taper, not the 76-79 that David found. I am estimating the wheels to be around 5 yrs old. I bought them used so I can't verify their source or production date.
Can anyone help me identify the brand? David, if, in fact, they are Trigo's should we be concerned about different tapers on the same brand? I can attest to the 60 degrees.

Paul,
You will certainly have to run 60 degree pins with 60 degree hub adapters. Alternatively, you can take your 60 degree hub adapters and have them machined to 90 degrees relatively easily. An easier way yet it to just tell me you want 60 degree pins and we will make them for you. But, from all I have seen, I would be careful and make sure your hubs are indeed 60 degrees. If you have any doubt, I'd be happy to check them for you.
