Who sells Novatec?
Looking through old posts on wheelsets, I see the Novatec brand come up a lot as a recommendation, even up to recent threads this year, and I find great reviews for them online. But where can I buy the parts? I'm looking to buy one specific part, the A266SBT rear hub. I've emailed and called Novatec's US branch, gotten no response. I've tried emailing the various ebay sellers to see if I can just order that rear hub (it's in the 2013 catalog, so it shouldn't be a problem), and have gotten no response. Any online store sell these parts, or anyone know any local SoCal stores that stock them?

So BDop never got back to me, either 
. I thought I struck gold because someone on Ebay was selling it paired with a front hub for cheap but he's charging $99 for shipping!
Can anyone recommend a similar weight hub (214g)? 28 or 32 spoke.

Wabi Cycles uses hubs on their wheels that look a lot like unbranded low flange Novatecs. You might want to contact Richard Snook at Wabi, and ask him if this is the case, and if so can he get you some hubs. I have Wabi wheels on my Wabi Lightning, and the hubs are excellent.

These hubs also look identical to Dimension track hubs, in case you are still having trouble sourcing some.

I'm actually shocked Bob hasn't posted by now.
