They list a 135 Campy compatible disc hub on their website, but I can't find anywhere to buy it.

I tried the email address on the site and it got returned undeliverable...

Is this company still active in the US? I see a bunch of hubs on ebay from a seller in Taiwan...sent a question to them as well but haven't heard back.

I like em. Just as smooth as my dt set and 7700 sets

Fwiw that eBay seller sold me a replacement freehub body without issue.

No distributor in the USA listed. So the company isn't 'in' the US at all..buy direct, I guess. They are made in Taiwan, pretty sure.

The website is lovely, but the contact address and links do not work and there is no mention of where one can buy the hubs.

Not trying to be a dick, I really appreciate any and all advice, but did you really think I didn't/couldn't find their website? Again, not trying to be a jerk, just can't tell if this was a backhanded post or an actual attempt to help.

I'll bet number 2..I am a computer/interweb idiot, not saying you are but I think trying to help.

i've thought about these hubs too in the past, being a campy guy they look like an attractive option, but what you said above is what steered me away. sure, you could buy a hub from one of the ebay sellers, but what if it arrives damaged, or you ever need parts/service for it.

IMO, in 2013 - a website with bad contact info, and dead links is an outfit i dont want to do business with, unless i know the seller personally.

nor was I trying to irritate. Just was moving a little too fast to be helpful. it is interesting to note the many thousands of transactions on ebay and the percentage of good vs bad feedback. would be a bummer to be in the bad column, but that's a lot o transactions in the good column.

Got ya. I really wasn't sure if it was trying to be helpful or not. At first I took it like the old posts where somebody asks a question, and another responds with the "Let me google that for you" link.

did you contact any of the distributors listed on their website? maybe one of those guys will do international shipping of a single item or give you a clue as to what ever else circus money is made into. Novatec?

I didn't. Similar to AngryScientist, I was a little put off by the lack of a functioning website and disconnected email addresses.

I'm hoping the ebay seller gets back to me and we can work something out.

I've emailed them multiple times, and they've never responded to any of my queries.

They have been great hubs for me (running disc-road). I just laced another lightweight pair (for disc and 32h), all black, but haven't pulled them up. There's a guy in Colorado that resells them. I'll have to hunt around for his contact info if you want it (but, they are not under the Circus Monkey brand - with the banana).
