Been offered a very good deal on a brand new Phil Wood wheelset laced to to H Plus Son F30 rims. Only "drawback" is that the rear hub comes fixed-fixed as oppose to single-fixed.
Okay, so admittedly it's a first world problem, but is there an aesthetically clever way of concealing the non-drive-side threading, other than actually mounting a cog. I find it rather difficult spending a couple of grand on a minimalistic bike, only to end up with something that isn't.
Also if anyone is familiar with the said rims I would greatly appreciate your feedback. In principle I favour tubulars, but I need a high quality clincher wheelset for serious climbing, or rather the mad skid descends that inevitably goes with it when riding brakeless.
