What are the benefits to having no brake track? I was thinking it would be handy to have just in case I ever needed to throw the front onto my road bike. And when you say better hubs do you just mean fix/fix hubs or are they not great quality?
I wonder if they'd do a 20h front instead of the 24h offered as well.

Ask them about 20H - they usually can do what you ask them.

no brake track = lil bit lighter, look a bit pro-er imo. I'll never use a brake on them so no need for I.
I didn't meant to denigrate the stock hubs, which, as the wise @negaatio mentions, are standard novatecs and perfectly functional. I just much prefer threaded hubs / bolts to track nuts, and have some Atomic22 security bolts I would like to reuse.
They'll do 20h, no doubt.
I did the maths a while ago, I would be significantly more expensive to buy the rims and have them built here than I would be to buy the wheels, have them shipped over and replace the hubs later ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I've had my eye on these for a while - I emailed and they can make them sans brake track also... I really want to ask if they'll make them with different (better) hubs. Don't see why they wouldn't.
