I counter all of your hubs with my Dura Ace hubs.

No holes ftw, it needs laser spokes. PEW PEW PEW.

Good call, I'd rather buy a set from VeloMine. Are you going to be lacing them up yourself? If not, LBS will charge ~$1 a spoke and labour, rims are another ~$100. Buy a complete set.

You could just say 15 (or is it 14) straight gauge...

Don't mind me, I'm just talking out of my donkey.

I'm going to be the voice of reason here..but formula hubs. Seriously, you're not going to be able to tell any real world diffrence between them and more expensive ones.

This is true. I'm completely satisfied with my Formula hubs.

Also, I recommend Velomine. I've bought two wheelsets from Ben and have been very satisfied.

cut? are you putting the veeps on the steamroller?

but surly hubs are good too. although i wouldnt take apart a complete wheelset... just pay for the hubs. in the end you'll be 40 dollars poorer but youll have two wheelsets instead of one.
