I have owned machine-built wheels.
I prefer hand-built, butbeggarslazy buggers can't be choosers. -

The Formula hubs are now only imported in double fixed spec. but Xero XR-300 factory built wheels have Formula fixed/free hubs and cost £149 www.velomax.co.uk The Formula hubs have sealed cartridge bearings so good durability even in the city streets.

Sorry for hijak but was wondering if any of you more experienced peeps could guide me as to the quality of an eccentric hub. have duffed and trued my back wheel numerous times and its now far from round so gonna get a new one buit (by some kind of expert).
Currently riding vertical drops SS with chain tightner but was looking at the eccentric and tempted to go for it... need input from those in the know. Is it a quality part and would the chain line be ok for a freewheel one side and fixed the other?
Cheers
Festerban would an H+Sons on the rear & cheapbutgood™ Mavic on the front be an idea?
Lighter, cheaper, still stiff, still room to doodle... harder better faster stronger !!!
