Polo Wheels (Tyres, Spokes & Rims)

I only need a rear, the Fixcraft core looks good but at 110dollar before delivery it's twice the price of the surly, which also overs its rear hub in a number of different spacing. So might just pull the trigger and go for it. Unless I can pickup one of them BMX hubs super cheap.

I'm rocking an old mountain coverstion so the option of rear spacing is nice. Plus if I plan on picking up something like a velo lucuma down the line it would still fit that frame

Where can you get a surly rear hub for $55/£33?

Ah, didn't think there'd be any of the old version knocking around. The updated ones are about £70-100.

much difference between them?

Ultra New hubs look much like their predecessors. In fact, the hub shells have not changed at all. They remain 6061-T6 forged and machined aluminum alloy with medium-height flanges. What’s Ultra New about these hubs are their guts.

Ultra New hubs use hollow axles of our own design mated to threadin wheel fixing bolts, as opposed to the nutted axles of our previous hubs. Hollow axles make conversion to quick release super easy (remove bolts, insert QR skewer, install wheel into frame or fork, ride).

All Ultra New hubs come with fixing bolts, but all are QR compatible without axle conversion or any other extra crap. Neato. The axles are made of CroMoly steel, while the fixing bolts are 10.9 stainless steel (i.e. high grade) for corrosion resistance, high strength, and good looks, and the bolts tighten and loosen with a 6mm hex wrench. Bolt caps and ‘cone’ nuts are also stainless steel, and are heavily knurled for good bite, reducing the chance for your wheel to slip in the frame under high load. The cones and dust caps interlock to maintain axle stiffness. Ultra New hubs spin on non-adjustable 6901 model bearings.

tl;dr - same hub shell, different bolts, hollow axle/QR comparible, less fiddly bearings,

Buy the BLB 48h trick (or track) hubs, cheap (£70-ish a pair, IIRC) and really strong...

Thought they'd stopped making/selling them but they seem to have a few of their 'Freestyle' and track hubs in 48h listed online.

Louis got a pair not too long ago, he knocked the price right down as well... Give it a go!

I'm going to get the names wrong, but I think I got a cheap hub because they hadn't updated the website.
I called and said I was looking at their site and they did a 48h fixed/fixed hub (the one cheaper than the trick hub, but I don't think it was the wide flanged track one) they said yes. A kind canine offered to get it, they told him they'd stopped doing it, he kept telling them stories about things that had happened in polo and how he once punched someone until they gave him a trick hub for 30 quid and told him to go away.

They also do an LHBPA discount of 10% I think (probably the same if you tell them you're LCC or CTC or whatever...)...

In short the trick hubs are awesome and well worth £40 and defo available in 48 fixed fixed.

Would these be any good?

They won't be good but they'll do a job. Likely be heavy and not too strong but should last a little while.

We sell something insanely similar at CS. Heavy but quite strong. Why snotters said pretty much!

Try a 36h version of these DMR http://www.universalcycles.com/shopping/product_details.php?id=10631&category=1703

I have recommended them to quite a few players, no complains yet. Would recommend that you get some proper track nuts to replace the stock ones though.

That said, the Surly is a proper bargain!

They're just hubs beagly, and will end up costing quite a lot more than the quite cheap wheels he was looking at. That said I've had one for a few years and it's been great and I just built up another one for someone else.

I can't afford anything currently anyway, but thanks for the info, lads

Looking for a rear hub: 32h, cassette (ss or not), nuts, 135mm
Any tips?

Edit: not expensive please....

Rough budget?

Halo Spin Doctor + their 10mm axle kit would work and for just over £60

Shimano and fit a nutted axle?

How about an internally-threaded axle and bolts, as used by trials riders? There are quite a few bolt-on options from Novatech.

DMR or Atomlab both often come internally threaded (and with bolts) in the box. Rock solid and lighter than nutted axle.

Tubes are theoretically stronger than rods.

Sweet new hubs from Fixcraft.

Wish I'd waited now, I've still got to build up my 2013 Fixcraft Hubs.

Came here to post the rear ones, 120 points of engagement... Hope they're noisy.

Ooh, that's the same as my freewheel, it is much engagey.

I will buy those hubs. I hate screw on freewheels with a passion. I think about it often.

Will their love for you be forever unrequited?
