Thanks Hilary, i'll think about this one.
I'm more after something like that denton or freddie grubb, ideally below a 100£ that i could restore and paint the way i like.
Will keep checking your posts.

Do you guys have something with a longer top tube?
55 or 56 seat tube, and 57 -58 top tube?

I'd be afraid that thieves after realizing they can't go through my fagh mini would destroy all the bits and the frame just to piss me off/ in revenge.
And what a stupid advice from police.*

[QUOTE=Kirth;1768634]IT happened to me during the London carnival. Police informed me that if I cut the other lock off, I could be done for damaging their property :(

so you just left your bike there and came back in the morning?

Ordered some spokes from them and had to wait two weeks for delivery.
I don't remember ever waiting that long for item that was in stock.
They don't even bother to send an usual email saying that your order has dispatched blah blah.
Might give them another chance though (paid only 27.99 for a box of 100 dt swiss db butted with nipples)

Anyone knows where i can get my wheels trued around west london?
I was quoted 10£ in cycle surgery in shepherds bush - anyone used them?

Yeah, just saw it. Is cycletaskforce checking gumtree?
Someone's really careful this time - no phone nr...

ok, thanks:)

I just ordered 289mm dt swiss spokes in box of 100 for 27.99 from fatbirds.
My hubs arrived today and front and rear are not the same. I just trusted planet x website which was showing 32 c-f for both hubs.
The front one is actually 34mm c-f.
The spoke calc gives me now 289.5 for rear and 289.8 for the front wheel.

Can i get away with 289mm for both wheels?*
Or should i change my order (i think it hasn't been dispatched yet) for 290mm spokes.
Or cancel it and get the spokes in different lengths for front and rear wheel?

Ok, just needed to be sure,
I know, silly question.
thanks

I'm trying to calculate the length for mavic cxp22 + gran compe hubs.*
The measurements for the hub are already in Ed's calculator. I'm entering 599mm as a rim diameter which i hope is correct. The spoke length for a 3 cross comes up as 289.5 for both wheels and i'll be buying 289mm spokes.
If the front hub is 100mm shouldn't the measurement be different and spokes slightly shorter?
Thanks

I just wanted to ask opinion/ comparison on a few hubs in similar price range. If i wan't to check which hubs are available in uk i'm using the search option in google. That's why this thread was pretty useless for me.

only 28H rear in stock, universal cycles is stocking them now but they're double the price

9th of August Ga2G's list was updated. Hardly out of date.

You are not special. You are not a beautiful or unique snowflake. You're the same decaying organic matter as everything else.

suzue 79 for a pair? where?
some links not working or leading to out of stock products.

GA2G - sorry to hurt your feelings and sorry that i dared to start a new thread without asking your permission.

Thanks for replies to everyone else, were very helpful

So what everyone is trying to say is that there are two categories of hubs:
Good expensive ones like goldtec or phils and The Rest: all miche's and halo's and system ex's so if i can't afford one of the good one's i should go for the cheapest option?

Where are gran compes available for £60 a pair?

Ebay

Seems like gran compe would be a good value. Goldtec are 140£ from outspoken cycles, double the price of gran compe.
Thanks guys
I'm waiting to hear more opinions, have to make a decision until the end of the week.

Thanks, thread with surly hubs is not coming up in search.
I'll go maybe with gran compe - 60£ for a pair of double fixed.

I know there's been few threads like that and i know about the one "hubs available in uk" so please no stupid comments like "use the search button"
All previous threads are a bit out of date, hubs not available any more or prices changed.
I'm looking for a silver fix/free hub below 100£ and can't decide which one to go for:
Halo
Miche*
Gran compe
Surly
I found some opinions here on gran compe and miche but couldn't find anything about halo and surly.
Which one would be the best allround hub?

thanks

Complete crap, I'm not worried about damaging it.
I'll be running it few months only until i get a new frame.
I'll use spacers and try to squeeze it a bit.
Thanks for the help.

Thanks, i was asking because 15mm difference seems like a lot so wasn't sure if it's not too much.

I have a little problem choosing the right hub size.*
I need to replace my horrible wheels.
Frame is 135 but i'm afraid to buy 130 or 135 hub because i'm planning to get a new frame in the next few months. I'll be trying to find some classic frame here on the forum and most of them are 120 or 125.
Is it really stupid idea to ride a 120 hub on 135 frame for a few months? *How would you space it?

Did you find that brooks tape already?

Thanks, I just ordered another set of jagwire from ebay. Been in a few shops today and couldn't find anything.
