Bikes: Surly Long Haul Trucker set up for commuting and loaded touring, old Sekine road frame converted to fixed-gear, various beaters and weird bikes, waiting on the frame for my Surly Big Dummy build
so there's the main difference from these VS. the gnashbar set (which they state is fixed/fixed).
The set I ordered from NB will hopefully have showed up when I get home, but I have a feeling it'll be later this week.

for the record, both of these sellers' wheels are built on fixed/free hubs. My Nashbar set arrived today and aside from being all scratched up for some reason (they're going back), they have a fixed/free hub. I called NB and they are going to correct their web listing that is a bit vague.

i gotta add that i thought about it a bit and i only paid 10 dollars more at nashbar. i lucked out with the discount code and only paid 135 plus shipping...two day to be exact thereby landing the price firmly at $171. and i have to add....i love these wheels man. besides being fixed free(adding stress of possibly messing up threads...) the mavic cxp22 rims have a slight and noticable split where the rim is joined up. its minor but anoying.
