So... one of the brands I see around is Origin8; I think they are the house brand for one of the suppliers. Would an Origin8 hub be a decent start for a new rear wheel? I'm starting to warm up to the idea of building this out myself. Also, when people talk about double butted spokes, is the double butting a physical feature you can see, or is it just a gradual transition from a larger diameter to smaller one (and back again)?
