Thanks. I liked the strength of the wheel (36h) and a slightly wider rim for a steel Ironman century bike. I learned a lot from you guys, and rechecked the CL post, he advertised it as a 9/10 hub. He also works/worked at a bike shop....I believe I've been slightly bamboozled ,..but it's all good. If he wasn't an hour away, maybe I'd see if he'd swap out the freehub. I'll see if I can do it...
