Lovely buzzzz from 350 DEG hub with massive 72T ratchet rings (twice as big as on classic hub). Love these hubs and highly recommend. Obviously wheel built with top class product FR541 rim. What else would you need?!

Beauties in gorgeous red 😍
For many years hubs with classic flanges have been dominating in cycling industry either on factory wheels and especially in custom wheel build department. Classic hubs either non disc or disc specific have better geometry to build strong and laterally stiff wheels which leads to fast and responsive wheels. Flanges have much bigger diameter and are widely spaced apart.
Straight Pull hubs now days offer less than ideal geometry with much smaller flanges with smaller gap in between. Most OEM wheels have SP hubs as they build up in to wheel a bit quicker than classic hubs with no room for error in lacing. From mass production point of view it saves lot of time. In hand built wheel world does not make huge difference.
I've been really big fan of classic hubs mainly because of their (most of the brands with few exceptions) fantastic geometry.
Fast forward to now day ish times .... with mainly disc brake wheels most of them I still build with classic dic hubs but there is one exeption to that situation...
Amazing hubs from
Ideal hubs with all features I need from wheel build perspective. Top quality engineering with fantastic geometry (best on market in SP hub world) with big flanges widely spread apart. Love it👌
Perfectly machined with main 56T ratchet ring made of titanium, 4 stainless steel pawls and springs, rest parts made of alloy. There is bearing preload adjustment on both hubs.
Hubs come in wide range of beautiful anodized colours like this red 😀 Trully great hubs, light with very nice buzzz.

🚲 Hello cycling lovers 🚲
It's been looong time since I've posted here. It was still 2023 😯 Last few weeks of last year were extremely busy with new builds, repairs, new projects and few new components coming in. Beginning of new year appeared to be even more busy so I ended up with no time to post new things on social media. I will try to do as best as I can to catch up instagram flow...
