asm How much were they? Aidan is stressing about hubs trying to find some reasonable price/decent quality ones. I was planning to just go with the standard systemEx offered on the bricklane velocity wheel build, but you've won me over to the build them myself idea so i might as well invest a little more now that i'm not worrying about build cost.
Oh yeah, I ask because aidan wants a green rear Deep V on his bike - a matching hub might be quite nice!
they were £50 for the pair (not including shipping). seem decent enough. flip-flop and they look pretty good. the first set of wheels i built were systemex and they're alright for the money. Hubs (blue)
make sure you get a good spoke key and measure your rims/hubs correctly so you can get the right length spokes. i think there's a thread here about spokes or wheelbuilding with a link to a good excel spreadsheet.
