Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

This is an image of the first prototype hub, even before my lock nuts and track nuts were finished. I think six pairs of prototypes were finished. I can remember pairs going to Ric Hjartberg of Wheel fanatyk and Steve Hed.

An old customer of mine from back in MA had a set of Curtis Odom hubs like the ones shown in the first post laced to wooden tubular rims. They were absolutely stunning.

The coaster brake hub was a fun project.
