I hope that i'm posting this in the right place...
anyone know anything about gnutti hubs? the hubs don't say anything on them, but the quick releases say "gnutti made in italy" on them. i've got a pair of them on some 27" wheels, and i'm thinking of building some wheels for a friend. nothing crazy, he just needs some wheels. Are they worth keeping, or should i just start fresh?
*edit* i don't want to use the original wheels because the rims have these grooves runniong perpendicular to the circumference of the rim that cause horrible squeals whenever you break. and no, it's not from brakes not being toed in. it's definitely the rims.
