I need recommendations.
I'm Converting an old peugeot road frame, figured i'd get the rear wheel sorted out first, then look at the BB for chainline etc.
The rear dropouts are roughly 24mm and I'm hoping to use a 28 spoke rim i've already got.
Suggestions for what hub to use, preferably not too expensive? The bike won't be getting too much hammer so the hub doesn't need to be totally bombproof, fixed/fixed or fixed/free.
I'd also planned to build the wheel myself, my first go at wheel-building.. what spoke pattern would anyone recommend, i know 28 spoke is not ideal for rear wheel.
thanks in advance for any advice.
