Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer?

Which Rims and hub?

Which rims are better, the choices are between Deep V and Weinmann.

Which hubs are better between Formula and Joytech.

Thanks.

When shopping for hubs, the most important things to consider are whether or not they will ever:
a. give you up
b. let you down
c. run around and desert you

With rims, on the other hand, make sure you get ones that will never:
d. make you cry
e. say goodbye
f. tell a lie and hurt you

Take into account all of the above and you should end up with wheels that really roll.
