The Miche Box Racing road hubset is for sale on wiggle and totalcycling for $70-80 (total). A bit heavy and not the finest hubs ever, but they seem passable and are so cheap I can't pass 'em up for a bombproof wheelset I've been hankering to build. However, this hubset is not listed on spocalc or anywhere else on the internet. I can't even seem to find a website for Miche. Anyone know the hub dimensions so I can calculate correct spoke length with the rims I'll be using?

Thanks!

Not everything is dot com. In fact, it was easy to find knowing that Miche is Italian.

Neat website, but contains nothing but pic.'s and weight. So, I still need hub dimension info. Anyone?

They look like conventional small-flange hubs. Even if the diameter is off by a millimeter or two, it won't make a difference unless you're lacing radially and the spokes are at one end of the threads or the other. I'd just plug in generic Shimano hub numbers.
