Thank you, I think I get your opinion of Maillard Atom hubs from your replies.

Just to clarify, I have plenty of 36h wheels I can use. I'm just trying to stick with the original intent of the Expedition by using the 40h Super Champion rim that came on it. I think this is one of many little details that made the Expedition the touring icon it is.

If the Maillard Atom hub truly is a poor choice, I'll use another wheel and hold out for a better option.
