Custom drilled hub options

I just picked up a set of Easton road wheels for my Bianchi Pista and need to get a fixed/freewheel hub for the rear. The rear wheel uses 20 spokes. Does anyone make a fixed/freewheel hub for 20 spokes or is my only option custom order? As far as custom goes, does anyone other than PhilWood offer the service?

I think Dura Ace had a 7600 series 16,18,20 hole option. Super hard to find, though, and costly when you do.

Phil's great, customer service and quality are top notch.

Paul Components can offer same service.

Quick google search turned up Novatech hubs for cheap.

yeah my first thought were the novatecs at bdop, but the rears only go down to 24.

if you picked up road wheels, maybe check out if you can replace the freehub with a surly fixxer? usually only works with shimano hubs, but my friend used on on his hed3. though my hed3 was older and didn't work, so it's not guaranteed to work.

Aye, 20h front hubs throwing off google results.

Fixxer may work, just oddly specific on the years of Shimano products it is compatible with, say 98-04.

There are options out there, just needle in a haystack. I'd cough it up and go for a Phil.
