Happy to help, give us a call, we are quite backed up at the moment, so delivery on wheels especially if you're needing anything unusual will be ~2 weeks.
Cheers,
Scherrit.

I have special spokes hand-rolled on the thighs of a virgin for you, Sir.

Converting to fixed? I'm thinking about getting one for the track. Which version are you using?

No way man, those guys are total rip-off merchants.

It's not that hard to do it yourself if you go real slow...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qTb3x5VO69Y

sorry late to answer, gizmond you have to use the older PT with a dust cover that goes on with 2 bolts. then you need a special axle and a surly fixxer to replace the freehub body, and some fool (e.g. me) has to re- space the hub to 120mm by means of filing down the ally spacer {which has a magnet glued INTO it} on the non- drive side.
Simples!

They do not last forever, and saris will not fix the old hubs anymore, the occasional reverse torque seems to kill them- the torx screws holding the torque tube in the hub (under the batteries) back out under reverse torque. They usually survive a few re-assemblies and I've tried using loctite...

Still, the old hub are cheapish on eBay as most people now know that they are not supported- what we need is some whizz kid to work out how to fix them.....

If anyone wants fancy wheels building privately, I am at a loose end this week, hard up for cash and can do all kinds of fancy shiznozz for you. The next one I build will be my thirtieth and I'm in the mood to do a real winner. Supply rim and hub and give me three days and some readies upon delivery. Three leading three trailing with snowflake in the middle anyone? Or three cross if your feeling sensible, not as much fun though.

Cheers, Sorry, should have mentioned, you told me all that stuff at Calshot a while back. :-) Just the one hippy pictured, looked like the newer one, was wondering if you are doing a conversion on that.
