paradigm shift

i spent some time on the business cycles website.

i like how the term "duplex-style hubs" is used instead of "flip-flop," which i always hated saying.

let the cry ring throughout the land: flip-flop hubs are dead! long live duplex-style hubs!

Nah...duplex sounds too suburban.

To me, a flip flop hub can be one of 4 things

Standard freewheel on one side
compact freewheel on the other (for 13T)

standard freewheel on one side
reverse threaded freewheel on the other (for left side drive)

fixed track threading on both sides (fixed/fixed)

Fixed track threading on one side
standard freewheel threading on the other

I wish they would just list them by thread type.

I wish there was a fifth: 120mm spaced hub with freewheel threading on one side and a disc brake acceptor on the other. Then you could do the ghetto version of LeVeL hubs for far less money.

should be just fixed/fixed or fixed/free...
