about all city- they're designing new hubs entirely based off the design. they don't look at all the same and they will probably be very strong.

about 28hole hubs- track hubs should be high spoke count. street hubs should be high spoke count. i'd love some low spoke count hubs but not high flange track style hubs. leader got these right... i like them more than most of their components, but i still would rather have some nicer looking ones.

word. the original sheriff stars were very thin in the flange at the "point" of the stars, the all city's are much thicker

Then why do purpose-built track wheels (read: mavic ellipse) have only 20 spokes?

because purpose built wheelsets are different than hubs intended for use on the street.

okay... look. i'm a big fan of dura ace hubs (which come in 28, 32, and 36) and any low spoke track hub. it could be 4 spoke for all i care.

it wouldn't make sense with leader's offerings. they make street and trick bikes and unless you weigh 95 pounds, you want 36h for jumping curbs.

i'm the last person to defend a leaderbike product, i hate their company and think they get stuff wrong more than they get it right.

but thinking that these particular hubs should come in 20h is more than naive.

i didn't mean to say track hubs should be 36h, i meant to say track hubs meant for street use(different from road use) should be 36h. just pretend i linked those sentences together and forget this thread ever existed. leaderbike sucks.

so...what you're saying is that no bikes should ever have hubs/wheels with less than 48 spokes?
