Needed - a rear track hub in any serviceable condition to get my destroyed back wheel rolling again (there's a good story behind it but 'tis not the time nor the place). Needs to be cup and cone. Spacing irrelevant. Low prices preferable :)

Anyone have any experience with those? thinking of building a new set of wheels but want a decent/affordable set of hubs. Will these fit that bill?

i'm sure these 'll be pretty similar as the ubiquitous zenith - and the black rear 15 gbp? a bargain

Sweet deals, to be sure, but I've got an awkward shaped frame and I can't get a chainline less than 52mm in the front. So it's either a case of getting an expensive off-road fixed gear hub, or get a normal cup-and-cone hub, move the whole hub along the axle and dish the wheel the wrong way. Not ideal, but it works fine for the time being. But I can't do that with a sealed bearing hub like all those are, because (AFAIK), their axles are like this: http://sheldonbrown.com/harris/images/hua07.jpg
So the need still stands :)
Thanks for the link anyway, because I may be rebuilding my front wheel anyway and there are some great deals on there.

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.
