Hi,
I'm thinking about building my first set of wheels and was after a little advice. I'll be doing a two-part course at my local bike community centre to learn the basics but after that I'll probably build a 'real' set for my Fuji.
I'm after something that'll be strong enough to survive my daily commute in downtown Toronto (bumpy roads, streetcar tracks, potholes etc) but they also have to add some bling to my otherwise drab bike.
I'm thinking red Deep Vs for the rims (standard, I know) and a matching set of red hubs with black spokes, but it doesn't seem like there's a lot of options out there for hubs in red - so far I've only found:
- Dimension
- Milwalkee Hubs
- All-city
Does anyone have any experience/suggestions with these, or other, red hubs?
