I'd really like to see a detailed photo of a single fixed rear hub by Mack.

Since this hub has sealed bearings, I'd ride it in the rain.

For that matter, I'd ride loose ball hubs in the rain.

I remember mihlbach describing this wheel build some time past, and I didn't think it possible.

Thanks to Batavus for sharing, and thanks to mihlbach as well.
You're welcome!

Here's my Mack hub:






Some pictures of high flange hubs Mack sent me (I still think high flange is prettier)





They're not even that expensive, at least not when you go for the regular (not superlight) version.
He does road hubs as well, both with Campagnolo and Shimano compatible freehub bodies. Contemplating those for my next lightweight road wheelset!
