High Flange vs Low Flange

DUDE no. You can get track hubs in low and mid flanges. Unless you want to be running gears on this bike, don't go around asking for road hubs! Mine are for a geared bike.

I would recommend you deal with Phil Wood directly... BLB and the other hip hop shops will look at you funny when you say you don't want Hi Flange track hubs. There's an order form on the Phil site, get some advice if you need it from them on the phone, or us. They won't respond to emails probably. You may get stung on import tax, unless you can get them delivered to someone in the US whom you're gonna see sometime...?

re: rims well actually no I was being lazy. Box section is a really old fashioned shape like this:

whereas the DTs and Open pros are more like this:

i.e. less square than the top ones, but not deep V (aka Aero) profile like this:

(I have used these illustrations of drc rims cos they have a handy cross-section diagram on them.)

Hope this is of some help.

Has anyone any experience of the box section type rims like the above? I have been looking into gettin low profile wheels, but dont want tubs. What are they like in comparison to the open pro's?
