14mm hubset for new bike

<< < (4/4)

K.Wong:
the odyssey ships only within america - dammed!, great deals on the ribcage rims... 

CatWeasle:
I grabbed some of those ribcage rims-
$50AUD for a 48h pair.
I will go with Federal V2 freecoaster,
and Gusset Tape front hub.
Rims and hubs are black.
So very much heavy enough to make a hybrid.
The CatWeasle frame is quite strong AFAIK too.

DaddyCool:
This will be a strong wheel set for sure. Eventually you can replace the steel cone nuts buy some made out of aluminium (maybe an axle nut cut to size). This will save some weight and not make it less strong... I was sceptical for a long time but now I even use aluminium axle nuts and they work.
Good luck with the wheels!
