Does anyone have an opinion to offer on this kit from Bdop:
http://www.bdopcycling.com/DIY%20Alloy%20Wheels%2028-32.asp
I want to build a set of training wheels and would like to try wide rims, so I'm curious to know if novatec make a more robust hub than the one in the kit?
Is an A171/F172 combo likely to be any more reliable?
I'd rather shimano hubs, but I'm currently living in Taiwan, and using kinlin rims and novatec hubs is going to be the cheapest option.
