low flange is nothing but aesthetics, and a vague suspicion that in a build they are meant to be more forgiving of road buzz etc?
I can certainly live with high flange. I built a rear wheel myself (not that it's great) with a generic sealed bearing hub (planet X) it's definitely better than what im running currently on the front (stock hub from fuji track) but I would like something smoother than that on both hubs... it's all a bit rough at the moment.
