Buy me a hub, bub.
 

In order to keep the bike population down, I've decided to get my Schwinn World Sport fixed. In building up the rear wheel I don't want to spend a ton on the hub, but I also don't want to buy a P.O.S. Somebody recommended a Suzue, but all I can find from the brand is a flip-flop. I'd rather go fixed-fixed.
Any recommendations?

cheapest fix-fix is surly. hands down best deal are formula/IRO hubs.

The formula comes fixed/fixed. Check Nashbar

i do not think that the nashbar hub is a formula hub...the cutouts look different, the center section is different, the bolts are different.

of course, i could be wrong.

So the Nashbar hub may or not be formula. Anybody have any testimonials for the Nashbar hub?

Check out this thread for a few posts about the nashbar hubs vs. the iro/formula hubs. I think they are different hubs. Maybe they share some of the same parts, but quite a few of the parts are different.

I use the IRO hubs and like them. Check
the IRO site for pricing and details. You can get a rear hub for $40. I've got a few hundered miles on mine and they're solid so far.

All I'm seeing on the IRO site are flip-flops. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong place. ANyone got a link?

the IRO's only come in fixed-free. same as bensbike and NYCBikes.


the nashbars are double fixed.
as are the surlys

other fix/fix include
1. Phil
2. Kogswell (135mm spacing)
3. Paul (?) (edit - Paul's are fix/free, nevermind....)
4. Suzue NJS
5. Suzue Pro Max CF
6. Dura-Ace

i have yet to see a picture of any fully built bike with promax CF hubs. those things are so damn hot. if i had a million dollars...

Here is the nashbar hub

If this doesn't work look under freehubs and rear hubs.

Alright, thanks for all the recommendations. I guess it's time to do some shopping.

I'm a dumbass. Sorry. The IROs are fixed/free.

This one looks like it has them:
