Not philly, i'm in ottawa ON. the hub is marked iL joytech but i can't find any info on them online... anyone heard of these before? I googled but all it came back with was sites selling joytech hubs not a joytech site itself. The rims are labelled Damco. Needless to say I'm quite pissed.

When I went to the shop to get the wheel built, I declined his offer to convert the hub i had cause i'd heard that it was unsafe... I can't really decide if i should go back and complain and try and get a legit wheel outta the guy... it's just this little used bike place, and too be quite honest the guy seems a little out to lunch.

He did build it super cheap so i'm thinking i'll just cut my losses on the hub, buy a legit hub that'll get me through the winter and get another store to build the wheel for me... or build it myself. Then i'll wash my hands of this whole situation and get an IRO or something, at least that way I can keep this bike as a winter commuter/errand runner as was originally planned.
