Why wouldn't you space your flanges as far apart as possible?

Soil_Sampler, are you from Canada?
There's builder in Vancouver who is making an ISO bolt on hubs for awhile, their cogs came out earlier this year. Good hubs.

That lockring design is genius, imo.

I'm surprised noone thought of that sooner. It would be really cool if somehow you could use a 15mm to get the lockring off though.

I'm drooling over some of the hubs in here...i need more money.
They maybe be 32mm, which is the standard size for a headset. So any one that has that wrench hanging around it would have another use.
It would be cool if they were interchangable with the miche cog carrier, but I dont think Miche would want that, and I know Victoire wouldnt.

The web site says the hubs and cogs are under prototype testing. Are you one of the testers?

really, think about it.

there are two competing ideas here; by spacing flanges farther apart the wheel gets stronger. At the same time when the flanges are spaced the same distance from the center you can build a dishless wheel with even spoke tension on both sides. A dishless wheel will be stronger than one with dish, even if the dished one is slightly wider. This is why the hub looks the way that it does.

This is a great idea and all, but what i'd really like to see is more options for straight pull spokes on fixed hubs. Cane creek is the only notable one I can think of right now.

These look great! If I wasn't saving for a CHUB already I'd consider getting these for sure.

Edit: Do you think i could use socket caps? How deep is the threading on one?

I still think these are gorgeous. Can't find out if they're re-brands or not, but they sure look nice.

just because they're splined? you're incorrect, sir. these are very good.

Forget the hub, that truing stand!... I think I know what I want for Christmas. :D
The price tag for the stand is shocking nonetheless rocking in at some $2k+. It's exactly like if Apple made bicycle tools.

thats awesome. its like a disc rotor truing stand.
