I have a surly flip-flop and an a719 on the rear, and now need to replace my front wheel. preferably to match, but I can't find the surly hub for less than £50, or the rim for less than £30 (it's black).
couple of questions:
why is the surly hub so expensive? I could get ultegra or veloce for half the price, or something else for the same.... can anyone suggest anything similar (looks/function) but not as expensive?
i've tried wiggle/evans/chainreaction/sjs/various places via google, but does anyone have other suggestions for a shop likely to sell the rim? ie a touring type shop?
