I don't have any model #. Icycles has for $30, claimed MSRP of $80. Wonder if they're any good compared with Formula, etc.

just FYI that's a BMX flip/flop *not* a fix/free track flip/flop

it lets you use a regular freewheel on one side, and a <16T freewheel on the other.

That answers what I need to know. I'm looking for the next too good deal to go on my first fixie BFSSFG IRO, and a wheelset is one of the needs.

for good cheap hubs, get the harris version of the Formulas.
