Hi, I want to build a racy 26" wheelset from new and to keep the price below £100.
The wheels would only be used on road and not for cross country use.
I thought of using some road hubs - Miche Magnum Team Hubs - (28h on front, 32h on rear).
On the other hand, if the informed out there think that's a bad idea, then maybe just a 28h road hub on the front with a beefier Mtn hub (32h) on the rear.
There seem to be a enough options out there for 26" rims for my purposes. Again, perhaps something lighter and racier on the front and something slightly more robust on the rear.
Anyway, I'd be interested to know what people out there think. Thx.
