SS/Fixed Hubs available in the UK

Ed, I don't know if you were buying them online, or in a shop, Zeniths and Formulas are available at the same price from KiwiCycles. 36 hole only at the moment though. I'd think that once the online delivery charge had been calculated, the prices from the shop and internet purchase would be similar.

KiwiCycles are building me a set of wheels right now, on Formulas. But those will be 32 hole.

already got a 36 holes from cavendish and black fusion rims, wheel should be built by sat or weds, aching for a proper ride!

Ed, you nearly broke me out in a rash! When you said Fusion rims, I wondered if you meant the 38mm deep ones
(http://www.fusioncycle.com/images/XR-380.jpg), or the Velocity's (http://www.bikemania.biz/PhotoDetails.asp?ShowDESC=N&ProductCode=VeloCity_Fusion)?

Just the thought of you on 38mm deep rims, rudeboy style............

I imagined you pulling a iffy-ciggie from behind your ear to share with Plod at the traffic lights.

Thank goodness you went for something sensible. :)

Been looking some more for SS MTB hubs and it seems CRC has updated its stock.
NS Bikes, coaster SS disc hubs, £44.99, 290g (anybody know anything about these hubs or NS Bikes, Id be grateful for any info)

Zakk Last SS, £89.99, 449g (double pick-up paws = bulletproof)
http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=27326

You forgot to mention these little beauties available from www.hubjub.co.uk which I most certainly intend to be purchasing...

Has anyone used these?
They look pretty decent, thinking about getting them - but then again there's always phils...

Anyone with info on the Hope pro II singlespeed hubs?
They look the biz and have 48 engagments so should be nippy.

I'm not sure if nut width is important (but I bet my arse that someone will be along shortly [hippy?] to tell all about their nut width).

Axle lengths should be in the website of the retailer, or of the manufacturer. Sorry, I just can't justify adding all that stuff also. Some searching on your part is a slight requirement.

I'm only now realising that keeping many lists up-to-date, isn't easy. :(

If you want a hub to fit your 126mm spaced frame, then would a 120mm hub work, with metal spacers of 3mm on each side?

As for the 4mm drop-outs......I can't help. Hopefully somebody else on here will lend you their expertise.

Use google / site [ame="http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=126mm+120mm+site%3Alondonfgss.com&meta="]search 120mm 126mm[/ame]

Is it a steel frame or alloy?
EDIT - I see your point, need to lose my attitude and just ride, but in the absence of that possibility I shall be rude..
Londonfixiebike sells spacers (2 * 3mm) to use on a threaded axle, or use washers, And it is possible to do this only on hubs with threaded axles (loose bearing / cup & cone) and londonfixiebike also sells longer axles.
good luck FFS.

provenrad's alright. But it's a bit much for some of the regular's here that newbies don't seem to use the search function much.

We all get it, when we post stuff that's already been trawled through.

This forum is primarily a place where fun is had, and ideas exchanged. Its also a resource, but that is secondary.

You'll find there will be things you like here, and also that you don't like here. Welcome. :)

BETD sell em.

Was that a trick question?
I am eager to help FFS.

BETD also make them :)

I has 126mm dropouts, ran a 120mm hub and three washers (6 pence total cost) on either side.
Worked perfectly.

I challenge anyone to come up with a more affrodable solution.

aahhh... welcome fellow cheapskate!

Cold set the frame to 120mm - free.

as a (small) uk manufacturer would they use a third party to distrbute within this country. I couldn't find any distribution info on the betd site on cursary glance. One of the cavendish guys may know if they buy from betd at a shop/reseller price, but then i'm sure they would also rather you buy from them and keep them in employment :)

We aim to please.

Halo hubs weight:

Front - 252g
Rear - 304g

are the DA 7600 hubs loose bearing or sealed cartridge? and how do they hold up london riding? they seem alot cheaper than a pair of phils.

It appears that the Shimano Dura Ace 7600's are on the way out, are already replaced by the small-flange 7700's.

Actually, I just noticed something really odd. In doing a search for 7600 hubs, I came across at least 2 shops that claimed to be selling
Unbranded 7600 Track Hubs.

Would Shimano leave their branding off their hubs? Or could this be a cheaper knock-off, hoping to get in on the large-flange hub sales?

This search: [ame="http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=Dura+ace+7600+hubs&meta"]Dura ace 7600 hubs - Google Search[/ame]= reveals the following.......

Unbranded 7600 Dura-Ace Large flange double ... £65.39 - Petra Cycles
SHIMANO 7600 Dura-Ace Large flange double ... £65.08 - Cyclestore.co.uk ...
Unbranded 7600 Dura-Ace Large flange double ... £66.05 - UK Bike Part
