Royce have said that they can also provide their medium flange hub in single-speed or fixed gear. An American retailer describes the Royce medium flange as being very similer to other maker's large flange models. Recent news: The fitting tool is a proprietary one, that needs to be bought directly from Royce. Recently someone slightly damaged their hub, because their own DuraAce tool was too hard for the softer aluminium ends on the Royce. Take note, any future purchasers. Goldtec have told me that they can do more colours other than just black and pewter for their ss/fixed hubs; but it would have to be ordered, then it will be anodized along with a batch of their more regular hubs. At the moment, it could be 4 months till other colours are available. Check with BETD to establish current wait.
I just got a pair of raw silver unetched Goldtech hubs in the post after I asked them if it was possible.
They are now considering regularly making them in silver in addition to pewter and black.
Ambrosio, Formula/Xero, System EX, IRO (and possibly SJS) hubs, are all the same. Only the sticker is different.
