  1. How much does it cost for a bike shop to install a new hub, new
    bearings, new spokes, and new cranks. I just got my koxx hub and i am
    wondering whether I should learn how to do it myself or spend the
    money. So does anyone know if it is... say $30+?

    30 sounds about how much it would cost.

    I grab onto my carbonfiber and get set free, into a uni-magic world with
    wizards and cats and autographed King Griffy Jr. Baseball bats

  3. If you have time and patience, build it yourself! 🙂 It's difficult but
    still possible. I built one today, took about 3 hours... (with help
    from my dad though) 😉

  4. You could build the wheel yourself then get the bike shop to true it.
    You would think that would be cheaper.

    thats what I would advise...just the simple building of the wheel isn't
    too hard if you know how. do a search on these fora for Sheldon
    Brown's website, its got grrreat instructions. truing though, thats a
    little more difficult, so you could take it to a bike store to have
    that done, and it would be cheaper.
