• 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

  • 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

  • Cheers for the bdop link, had been googling and searching ebay and found no simple options.

    Re: miche - I've heard enough from both friends and forums to suggest that the quality isn't what it could be and because of that would rather not use them if there's another option.

    Low flange - Because I was advised by the guy who designed the rim to use a high flange hub, I'm sure he's erring on the side of caution when giving advice but still it's a valid opinion to consider.
