i have a pair of the zipp 400 clinchers and the rear is built onto a hope Ti 20 hole cassette hub. I fancy gettin it rebuilt with a track hub, anyone know what the cheapest 20 hole track hub i can get is?

Maths isn't my strong point but it is possible to build hubs onto rim missing a hole here and there. I think check Sheldon Brown out.

And by the way carbon fibre is a lot different to alloy, so make sure has person building it has experience with carbon first, not just an oh yeah I have built lots of wheels like that!

You could order a custom drilled hub from Mack in Poland.

Royce would do one for definate, Perhaps Phil Wood or paul comp if you ask nicely, or use a 40H hub. That'd be great seeing a 40H Airlight/Racelight/Harden/Bloomfield style hub on a carbon rim!

Would piss the "period" obsessionalists off too! :)

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
