Fixie/SS road bike riders, hub help needed

<< < (2/2)

LeonLikesToRock:
I run the fixed set on one of my bikes. They spin great. Bolt up is less fucking about than QR. Does the flange stuff make a difference? Not that I can tell, but I ride 36h wheels. Maybe it would be a more pronounced difference with 28s.

reebzor:
Half of your decision will come down to whether you want QR or not. If you want QR it looks like the Road/CX hub is your only option. You can also get a bolt on skewer if you change your mind in the future too. Other than that it comes down to which ever one will match your rear hub the best.

bluebmx:
I'll probably do the single side hub. looks clean and any little added stiffness is probably not a bad idea with a 28h set up. I'm not jumping to get a new rear wheel too soon, but when the time comes, is 28h in the back too few spokes? I'm 175 pounds but just doing your basic road riding stuff.

Dr. Steve Brule:
28h will be fine man.

blueee:
you can get a decent 700cc wheel off craigslist/fleamarket for like twenty bux
