Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Finding hubs?

I just bought a pair of Rolf Vector Pro rims, brand new, that uses the 14 spoke paired spoke technology. Figured these would make a nice set of wheels built up, and since I don't have any new winter projects yet figured this might be a good one. I'm having only one problem, I can't find any 14 spoke hubs, only 20 as the lowest. Suggestions on what to do? Can I use the 20 hole hubs or do I have to get a 14 hole hub? If so where can I get some? Either campy or shimano.

Thanks,
Dave

Have you checked White Industry? I don't know this for a fact, but the spec sheet on their website makes it sound like they will drill whatever configuration you need.

14 might be hard to find, but you should be able to find plenty of 28 hole hubs, just skip everyother hole. find the strongest flanges since 14 spokes will put alot of stress into each spoke.
