Ok - White Industries...

but what are some other options for fixed hubs? I like the flip/flop idea...

Looking for 130mm spacing so alot of track options are out - Have one wheel built now... but am looking to build (with supervision) a new wheel for the fixxie. I have 28 hole and 32 hole rims available, but can always get something else if there is a nice hub out there.

Just looking for ideas/suggestions!

Thanks!

Oh; horizontal drops - no need for offcenter hubs.

Get a Dura Ace flip-flop and install a 5mm spacer on each side, inside the locknuts. The axle is long enough to do this. Or, replace the solid axle with a hollow axle from a freewheel hub.

Sturmey Archer TF is the bees knees,
two speed fixed, direct and 25% reduction.

Check out ebay item# 7182818304
presented by the estimable Hillary Stone.
check out his other auctions for some Airlite "bacon slicer" hubs, tres chic.
Not related to Mr. Stone, tho' I did have a beer with him once.
