Am having a go at building wheels and covet bright pink hubs. I've found a well bargainous rear one at Planet X but they're out of stock for front.

Variousl googling just takes me to ludicrously expensive for my needs and/or american sites which I'd get hit with import duty on.

Idead?

Ta b&d and balki. As lovely as Phil hubs would be, is prob a bit out of my price range when I just want to have a go at building my own wheels.

Ta for pointers to pink nips too. As it were

Not too sure about the availability of pink spokes. There were some rumours about anodizing having a detrimental effect on the shaft.

Oh Matron!

Reeen painted some spokes in a sweet little spray booth he knocked up... but he's a bit of a mental.

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:

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

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