Cheap hub source?

What's the least expensive source for cheap track hubs these days? Something like dimension or formula. Do you know of any place with quantity discounts?

quantity discounts? if you've an account with qbp you may be able to get dimensions with a discount, but i don't remember seeing that they had formulas. qbp does carry miche primatos though.

My wife is terrifying.

I only pay top dollar for Dimension hubs. Who wants the cheap ones?!

I unfortunatley no longer work at a shop, so I don't have access to qbp. Unless QBP will let my craigslist business qualify for an account. I doubt I'd be able to spend enough money with them.

What about J&B, does anyone who's not a shop have an account with them?

Yeah a few weeks ago I looked at the Nashbar rear hub... Then I looked again after lunch, with plans to order and it was ten bux more and hasn't changed since. I've therefore been holdin' out.

Here's an option for a pair.

Don't know the quality but have not heard bad things about them.

nashbar is for sure still the cheapest. just click the coupon tab at the top of this page and you will see coupons for 10-20% your order on nashbar. You can get a pair of hubs for $66 right now.

Is that including taxes and shipping?

novatech/dimension hubs have garbage hollow axles. formulas have solid axles and well machined threads for the cog.
