we figured that 20 spokes 4 cross on the other side of a steel hub will stop any hub wind up
The NDS flange is only pressed into the hub shell, so any torque across the shell will spin the NDS flange in the shell.

thanks for the info - poo ! - only 1 way to find out if my awesome guns or lugging my lardy arse up a hill, will over-power 84 years of corrosion at the joint !

i decided to mock up the installation on an old frame from the man cave as a test bed - so i can still ride the fixie. The hub works well and changes nicely with a Campag 1970s shift lever- but with just a few laps of the garden i can see movement in the paint around that joint - so it is back to the wheelbuilder for a respoke on the drive side ! Many thanks for your warning ! :)

Wehey - a swift half wheel rebuild later and here we go - 40 spoke, 4 cross, aero bladed 45mm carbon tubeless 2 speed fixie ! Now a ride-able rolling chassis - just waiting for a few bits to sort out the handlebars / brakes etc

Yes it is DS = Radial, an aesthetic choice but we figured that 20 spokes 4 cross on the other side of a steel hub will stop any hub wind up ! i'll update next week after i have sorted tyre and integrated shifter on the bike and given it a go.
