Novatec Low-Flange Hubs?
Anyone know the quality on these novatec low flanged hubs?
I looked up some on google and there wasn't much on the low-flange as there was on the high flange.
In comparison to formulas? Nice that the rear is fixed/fixed

I'm sure they're just as awesome as the high flange ones.

Now is there a significant difference between the high flange vs low flange? other than aesthetics

Strength, but it's arguably unnecessary.

the shorter the spoke the less flexing i guess. But for an everyday bike I guess you're right.

There are almost always marginally lighter too. But the close you get to the rotational center(in this case the axle) the less that matters.
