I believe I have said it before. The IRO hubs are fantastic. Smooth and durable and good looking. Come with nice track nuts too. I have them laced to velocity deep vs. So far this wheelset has been performing great.

The IROs look like the way to go. I plan to get them within the next few weeks. I'll let you guys know how they look.

They sure are pretty.

Thanks for the input guys. It's great to have a board like this around.

I built up a friend's bike with the IRO deluxe wheelset (same hubs though) and those puppies are nice. I'm thinking about getting a set myself. Smooth, solid, high flange.

i dare you to find me a picture of this. must include dreaded hippy on bike. DO IT!!!

i shredded an armadillo tire down to the threads after many months of suzue basic hub skidding. and that was with the hub threads slightly ****ed after i tried to take off the lockring the wrong way really really hard (everyones a noob once, some get to be it the rest of they lives). the hib lives on on my new dumpster find hot red miyata.
