That's a neat idea.<br /><br />I suppose you're probably right about single speed hubs. Something like a surly single speed hub or a DMR single speed is about the level of gear I usually buy, so I think it'll do for me. Maybe on fork # 2 or # 3 I'll try a TA one for fun.Rob Younghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06761917937136727695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36151678.post-75862101491021556252009-11-16T13:45:15.847-08:002009-11-16T13:45:15.847-08:00Honestly, I think the Paul 135mm (standard 9mm QR)...Honestly, I think the Paul 135mm (standard 9mm QR) is probably a better solution. Bolt-on SS hubs tend to be pretty low quality items, in my experience. Plus the flanges aren't that much farther apart than the ones on a normal 110mm TA hub. Dish isn't the important thing - the spoke angle is what matters. Besides, if you're building the fork yourself, you can just build it a little offset to make a dishless setup if that's what you're after.Walthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09156620599767391579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36151678.post-64519528201157538812009-11-16T13:39:45.493-08:002009-11-16T13:39:45.493-08:00Hey Walt.
I was thinking there were single speed ...Hey Walt.<br /><br />I was thinking there were single speed thru axle rear 135mm spaced hubs available, so you'd get the dishless wheel and the thru axle... It appears that most (all?) thru axle rear hubs are either 150 mm spaced, or have a cassette body (and therefore not dishless.) I guess you could go with a 150mm thru axle hub... but that seems a little wacky. I guess I'm not up on those hubs either!<br /><br />I think when I make my fork, I'll go with a 135mm spacing, and use bolt on rear single speed hub. Seems like a good compromise.Rob Younghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06761917937136727695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36151678.post-6141586409044388812009-11-16T13:20:53.204-08:002009-11-16T13:20:53.204-08:00Rob -

I know Risse used to make a 120mmx20mm hub that was pretty nice (I have one) but I'm not up to speed on super-wide 20mm front hubs, really.Walthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09156620599767391579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36151678.post-8978084085735664372009-11-16T13:10:33.339-08:002009-11-16T13:10:33.339-08:00Ps: for ultimate stiffness.. what about a 1.5"...Ps: for ultimate stiffness.. what about a 1.5" head tube and a 135mm thru axle hub?Rob Younghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06761917937136727695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36151678.post-22967586849723711662009-11-16T08:17:40.632-08:002009-11-16T08:17:40.632-08:00Awesome.
