My Suzue basic is slowly pooching out or I'd use that for a rear hub. The cones are shot and I don't know what kind of joy I'll have finding new ones. Harris cyclery has the odd-ball 3/16 side, I'd just need to find a 1/4" one and I'm rockin'. I think Wheels manufacturing makes ones that will fit at 1/4", but I still have some lookin' into it to do.

I may actually build both up anyway. It would be kind of nice to have the option of going wide or not depending on the road conditions.
