  • right now I am sporting a nice pair of HiFlange polished Phil's and they look 'nice' against my black frame

    but have high flanged hubs had there day...?

    I keep looking at low flanged hubs thinking they look sweet

    So what do you say..?

  • One of each.. :)

  • i like all flanges...;^)

  • flange is flange.

  • axe-wound!

  • small flanges have longer (s)pokes...;-D

  • These ones come with a special note telling you NOT to ride them on the street

    Come on chaps admit it

    That's pretty hard to resist

  • there hasnt been a sensible answer yet,not even from dave!....well maybe lpg

  • lpg flange is flange.

    Nah, I'm being serious, we all like a nice bit of flange, but do you like big flanges or are little ones better...

  • dont listen to the note,its just jealous

  • Close your eyes and you can't tell the difference ...

  • haaa

    it's a personal thing...how dare you!!!

  • I love the low flanges on my Fulcrum Racing 1 road wheels, I love the high flanges on my Phil Woods. I really just think that the sex is picking parts that compliment the bike you are creating, for me classic track frames really look the bomb with high flanges.

    As for the science, I'm not sure it makes a big difference. Stuff about stiffness, torque, lateral strength, aerodynamics, weight... I'm not going to really notice.

    Go for what you feel looks better and smile.

    do you have Phils on your Bob Jackson...?

  • Serif or Sans?

  • the-smiling-buddha do you have Phils on your Bob Jackson...?

    Not quite yet, but by tomorrow I hope so :D

    I'll post photos when I get my camera back.

  • Like this..?

  • Yup :)

  • I have some they are really really pretty...:)

    If I can't find a nice pair of Campy hubs for the new bike

    I am going to get some SLR's

  • i now have a spare campy record rear and front hub high flange rear low flange front i think i'll be selling so if anyone wants some flange let me know

    not NOS but running smooth and slightly pitted should make a good set of polo wheels

    and

    i think high flange looks the nuts seperates a ordinary looking wheel from an interesting wheel

  • Low flanges are lighter...

  • The internet can be a strange place.

  • its all about the high flanges with the cut out bits
