That was pretty much the exhaustive list of hub options I'd come across…but:
Miche - cheese
BLB - A.BLB B. Low flange
Paul - Weird chainline
Phil - $$$Any other options?
But what you're saying is I should scrap this idea and come visit Glemhole for a pair of hand built open pros?
Get an extra 24H rim, then you can use a Novatec hub, which is easily available in 24H
I've exchanged a few emails with Jon (Co-founder) and he recommended 28h, even then was slightly reluctant to give it the thumbs up until I'd said it would be built 3x but someone who knows what they're doing. Reckon 24h would be fine and he's just being over cautious?
Sale opens (and probably closes again) in the morning…I'd better sleep on it
Skant-

Are you heavier than me? I'd happily ride track with 24H on the back with any rim that's sold in 24H. The Flo30 isn't so far off the Mavic Ellipse rim in terms of weight and depth, and Ellipses worked for me with only 20 spokes. Track rear wheels need fewer spokes than road wheels to achieve a given axial stiffness due to the lack of dish.

Try Novatec... BDOPcycling have them in all counts.
Not sure about your statements though... Miche cheese? Why?
BLB low flange, so what? The contribution to stiffness of a high flange hub is close to zero. Roughly speaking, for every millimeter of flange width, you need over 5 mm of flange hight to achieve the same bracing angle... besides, with a 30 mm rim on a track hub you've got all the stiffness you might ever need.basically you are overcomplicating a wheel which is really that simple

I have aero wheels and love them and they do work. For training though I prefer "slower" wheels as they make me work a little bit harder. Same goes for training tyres they are always one with higher Crr.
The difference between the flo wheels and OP wheels will be more than 2W it could 15W @30moph at 30kph it would alot less maybe small handful of Watts. However most folk ride low spoke count wheels e.g. campag Zonda's and the difference between these and the flo's maybe in the order of <5W @30mph. don't get me wrong in a TT situation even if all you can do is a 19mph average aero wheels do make some difference it is real. I don't think the difference is dream like though you still have to work.
Miche Primato do fixed hubs in 28H. I have some on the way from Miche. BLB also sell there own hubs in 28H. Phil Wood and Paul do 28H hubs. Plenty of choice really.
