Lots of posts do that ..
they could call the company? ask about a 132.5 version , like I suggested..
Can I assume that I am the "they" in in your comment? "They" could call the company. "They" could also post on a forum where like-minded individuals share ideas, experiences, and information; that is kind of the point of a forum. If "they" had such expensive tastes and the cash to indulge in such tastes, "they" probably would not seeking more information about hubs that effectively give you 2 (or more)-for-1. It is not my fault that Chris King and DT Swiss are the 2 examples I've found. The point of my post is looking for hubs, potentially more economical than a $400+ CK, that may have the same adaptability.
I never would have guessed such an innocent question would descend into such negativity.
I appreciate the helpful info that has been contributed but I do not see why or how snarky comments and insults are necessary or constructive. We're talking about bikes people; this is supposed to be fun!
Anyway, back on topic and to answer a question above:
Conversion would not be frequent, maybe once a year, maybe when I need the wheels/hubs to go to a new frame. I am not a fan of planned obsolescence. I'm liking the flexibility and conversion options some manufacturer's are designing into their hubs.
Thanks!
