Nope. That post was from four years ago. They're long gone. Sorry.

Velocity no longer makes that hub either.

I'm glad you're okay. You were rear-ended at a stop sign. This makes the driver liable for damages. Can you get them (or their insurance company) to pay up?

As I recall, there's nothing about that stock hub that requires it to be built with that goofy paired-spoke lacing. Check with someone who knows more about these things than me. If the hub can be built with standard lacing, have it rebuilt into a decent rim using 2X lacing. (With only 24 spokes, I don't think 3X would work, but again, ask an expert.)

Velocity's A23 O/C for off-center builds up as a really nice rear wheel, and it comes in 24-hole drilling. The benefits of the off-center design will really help with 24 spokes.

Hope this helps!
