Cheap built rear wheel?
im bored with the roadie and am hoping to get some novelty out of it by going fixed
im gonna throw the 46 outter chain (on a triple) into the middle position, and run an 18 in the back.
need a decent rear wheel... something like MA3 with IRO hubs....
someone list all the cheap prebuilt rear wheels available out there? -- all i know of are the ones available from harris cyclery

Bought a IRO from Tony a couple months ago for around a 140$ delivered to the door
Very smooth bearings and nice looking to boot, very satisfied with it.
Forgot to mention price included a 16 rear cog and a Dura-ace lock ring

its a newer bike (99 fuji finest) so the drops are horizontal but very short.. i was hoping i'd get lucky with the right combo... ill run a 46 in the front and i hope a 17 or 18 in the back will work (with a half-link if need be). im not entirely sure on the chainstay length
if there are no other deals aside from the one in the above link, i think i'd have to go with IRO

did you strip the cog, or the hub?
and what kind of cog was it? did it come with the hub?
i've never heard of the suzue JR hub stripping, i'd assumed someone had but no one i've talked to before has...
interesting
