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?

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?

Here is the nashbar hub
https://www.nashbar.com/profile.cfm?c...eid=&pagename=
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.
