Anybody know of anywhere that sells those cane creek hubs that had the "nipple at the hub" honeycomb design? I know they were never sold separately to begin with, and now that Cane creek no longer makes wheels they are likely fairly rare, but I'd be willing to buy a whole front wheel just to strip it for that awesome hub, if only I could find somewhere to buy one.

Might help if I knew all the various wheels it came on. I think the Track V's and a handful of others?

why do you want to have just a hub? you have to have the right wheel too to make a wheel out of it. and the right nipples and the right tool... it's pretty dismal actually if you want to make a wheelset. have you called cane creek?

they aren't sold seperately and you can't get them new anyway so you're out of luck.

The reason they were only sold as a full wheel is because the system required a very unique spoke and rim. You cannot use any standard rim with the hub.

Straight pull spokes aren't unique and quite a few rims can run them. If I remember correctly the front hub was 24h 2x, which just about any rim that can use straight pull spokes will be able to do just fine. Am I missing something?

The spokes run "backwards", in that the nipple is on the hub end, so the rims need to be able to accommodate the spoke head at the rim.

[h=2]Can I replace the rim on my Cane Creek wheel with another rim?[/h]Generally, no. Our rims have a small custom drilling in the rim wall, and no other rim will do.

i own a set. the clinchers at least use velocity aerohead rims and straight-pull sapim cx-rays. cane creek confirmed both at a time they needed service. they did not mention the custom rim drilling, but I can see how that might be necessary. curious...i'll go measure.
