Wheel options?? 130mm wheels + spacers. Plus. Im tired of seeing Deep Vs, DP18s, B43s......I like a lot of the wheelsets roadies use, despite the fact that lots of them are hella bank.

In any case, chaning out cogs seems easier on those types of hubs (where the freesheel mechanism is actually built into the hub) rather than trying to switch freewheels out by constantly unscrewing and screwing on freewheels.

Like I said. Just an idea. =].

Plus. Since I wanna run it as a singlespeed....lots of road frames are now offering internal cable routing. I hated C clamps and zip ties, and even with cable stops, I think taht internal cable routing looks lots cleanter than cable stops.
And that gives more aero advantage.

Carbon lighter than steel and alum.....

Road frames. Hmm....other than that, I kinda reasoned that using frames with vertical dropouts with either eccentric hubs or chain tensioners, would be a lot easier than using frames with track dropouts. There would be virtually no effort in centering the wheel. Just drop the wheel into the verticla dropout and tighten the hub or the tensioner. Whichever one you would be using.

If you wanted to go to gears, the option WOULD be open to you, although I probably wouldn't do it.

Plus, its something different. Its not something you'd see your average every day hipster riding.

I just think it opens a whole new door to lots more possibilities.

I THINK THE MAIN REASON IS THE OPTIONS TAHT ARE OPEN TO YOU....STAY SS OR GO WITH GEARS ETC.
