Need to complete a 2010 Langster steel
I live over on the C&V thread most of the time but recently I acquired a the subject bike without the wheels, stem, bars and pedals for cheep. Part of the reason was the seat post was stuck about 12" into the ST. I am nearly done removing it via Lye.
I have everything except a wheel set, I believe I should get a flip/flop rear hub. I am not knowledgeable about the options of good, acceptable and over the top options except by price. How about some opinions of what I should get.
I have a couple of extra hubs but they are for geared bikes so the front could be OK, I should get a F/F rear if I was to build a wheels set. If I do that, what would be a good rim set?
What should I avoid and what should I look for, rims and hubs?
