Is the spacing of the Uncle John frame 130 or 135? It's not listed in the specs.
If this is the 2012 version hopefully it's 135, but you should definitely ask the company.
Also, there have been some compatibility issues with On-One frames and Avid BB7s. Planet X is their sister company. Do some research and ask questions if that's what you're planning to run.
If for some reason the Uncle John is 130 spaced why not get the Kaffenback frame? It will be a little heavier, but it's 135 spaced which will give you a MUCH greater range of hubs and wheels to choose from.
