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!

Bikes: a bunch.
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.
