"]Flyingdutch: do you have some cheap fixed-gear hubs? Possibly for 110mm
spacing?

I got a Malvern Star Skidstar setup as an mtb yesterday but it has a
ghastly coaster-brake hub. Fixed would be lovely.

Heyzooos!

this is turning into a fulltime job! 😄

Im thinkin I will order in a dozen of em as the list of buyers is growin faster than an illegal-marina (Melb-joke)
They are spaced (currently for 120mm) but i hink there might be abit of leeway there or a few extra spacers in there. I'll check tonight

I just run a standard freewheel hub with an old BB lockring on my Skidstar:

C'mon - it is a Skidstar, it is not as if it is going to get any _real_
riding :-)

$50, but for you $100 😄😄😄😄

...unless you promise to tow me up the BR climb to break my 14min barrier 😄

Apart from being the local hub dealer (psssst need a fix??) how's the
wheel building going. It's important you work it out so that when I have
a go there is someone pedalling distance away to take my mess and
suggest where I went wrong. 🙂

i doubt one OK(ish) wheel makes me some blackbelt!
Its done. havent put it on a bike yet. just admiring its uncanny similarity to a wheel 😄
The only way i could suggest where you went wrong is if i did a hundred and made every mistake first myself and then related them back to you like some ol' warstory 😄😄

The triangle wheel was an improvement upon the square wheel:
It eliminates one bump.

(just like them italian bikes :-) )

One bare and the other with a 16T freewheel and a 15T cog/lockring on the other side (that's mine! get your eyes off it!)

Quando is the brand fuji use for their cheaper track bike. I've had my fuji for almost a year with no problems. The hubs aren't super smooth but they do the job. Just have to remember to strip 'em for a good clean and re-greasing every once in a while.

cheers

Looks pretty nice but would look better as a fixie.

Ride On,

If only a bike had three hubs, then it would be quando, quando, quando!
