campy vento
im buying myself a used campy vento 2007,the clinchers c/ with 10 speed campy hubs,so im planning to change the rear hub to normal flip flop hub.Does this possible?and comparing these campys to velocity deep-vs,how good are these wheels?Thanks!

haha are you a lolcat? "does this possible?"
you cannot change a cassette hub into a flip flop hub. i am also 99% positive that you won't be able to swap out the hub in the rear for a different one because of the low spoke count (and it would be a waste of your time and money anyway). why do you want to buy a road wheelset for a fixed gear? just buy a fixed gear wheelset.

I especially agree with this - why pay good money for a wheelset that will only make you problems when you could just buy an excellent fixed-gear wheelset for the same price which you wouldn't have to mess around with?
Just because they look cool?

except triplet lacing is there to reduce the tension differences between drive and non drive sides on 8/9/10sp wheels with a large amount of dishing.
it's totally pointless on a flipflop hub

cool your tech jets...
why do you want to buy (this) road wheelset for a fixed gear?

Yes it's possible. You realize you'll need to completely rebuild the wheel with a flip-flop.

9 NDS + 18 DS for a 27h rim
it's possible with a 36h hub.
except you'll really hate yourself when you try and figure out the spoke lengths.

Though it may be possible, is it remotely sensible? Wouldn't the tension be all wonky in just the opposite sense that triplet lacing is supposed to remedy?
Also, am I replying to a troll thread?

But yes, trying to calculate the spoke lengths for a rim with nonstandard drilling sounds like a pain in the ass, or reliance on a very patient geometer. More difficult, I imagine, than with a rim where the spoke holes are evenly distributed.
As other people have stated, the Campagnolo G3 lacing is designed to deal with the different tensions that the drive side and the nondriveside of a road wheel encounter. Putting driveside forces on the nondriveside of G3/triplet lacing (as you would presumably do at some point with a "flip flop" hub laced thusly) would be... not ideal, and potentially bad.
