Fixed Gear/Single Speed hub recommendations?

Hello guys,

I'm looking to do a wheel build, I currently have some 2019 Zipp 404 Firecrest Carbon Clincher Rims and wanted to know what hubs people would recommended for them. The spoke count is 28x 28. They can be the best of the best hubs, mid range or even the lower end ones. I just want to know what possible options I have,

Cheers,

Ky

Without finding a whole lot, there are these Miche hubs, reckon they'll be somewhere in the lower mid range quality wise.

Hello,

I appreciate that, thankyou. But I'm looking for silver components as well not black but I guess if I can't find any silver ones I'll go with a black pair

Halo do some better hubs and in different colours, but I can't find any 28H ones. Maybe look into DT Swiss too.

Hello mate,

I shall check out Halo and DT Swiss thankyou very much,

Nice rims, would pair nicely with some Mack's

If you don't mind importing from Japan, Dura-Ace High Flange come in 28hx28h, are cup and cone and silver.
For some reason UK distributors can only get 32 and 36h.
I use these on two bikes.
I also use Mack which cost a bit more but are lighter and cartridge bearings if that's what floats yer boat...

if you wanna go all custom, Russian Raketa or Harmony Lab offer many options. raketa lets you select many colors and splatters/fades or whatever, and harmony can do almost any flange diameter, carbon middle part and all spoke hole numbers you can think of. I own a pair of Harmony hubs and for their price they're very nice. I think with raketa you will have to pay double the amount of what harmony charges.

Go onto Aliexpress and get some Novatec track hubs for like £40. Silver, come in 28h, sealed bearings.

Top end would be Phil Wood track hubs from the Velodrome shop. That's as much money as you should waste on track hubs

Thankyou very much, I did see those Novatec hubs sold by Ali Express but didn't know whether they were any good or whether they were legit Novatec hubs But since you're suggesting them I may go ahead

I’d give a shout for goldtec’s I’ve got Phil’s and goldtecs on different bikes and the goldtec’s have been just as good

In full disclosure I just found them on Ali express and they have a few hundred orders, I can't actually vouch for that seller. Goldtec are a good shout, esp if you can find a good seller
