Your lucky I do a quick scan through all the old threads that I havn't
looked at next time you should use the wonders of pms and avoid making
more threads than needed.
I bought my hub and cranks from www.renegadejuggling.com
If you send them an email or fill out the order form without the credit
card info then they will give you a quote for shipping. If I remember
correctly I payed about 25 bucks american shipping. Then once it came
across the border they charged me another 31 something dollars in
taxes. Altogether it cost me 233 or something like that.
I would definatly give division 8 a call. Even if they charge a couple
bucks more you will probably save on shipping and you won't get hit by
the border. Plus its always nice to support Canadian business.
If they are going to cost the same either way though I would highly
recommend renegade as they kept in touch with me the entire way and
were really really helpful.
Also don't forget that you will have to buy a new set of spokes as the
ones you have nor are probably either bent or won't fit or a
combination of the two. In my shopping I have found that you may need
to increase your cross count in order to get cheaper spokes as getting
shorter spokes is generaly much harder. According to the calculator on
www.unicycle.co.uk I needed 176 mm for 3 cross which cost me anywhere
from $1.50 to $1.00 but I checked out four cross (which I was told
wasn't hard to do) and for that I need 184 mm spokes which are about a
third the price. From about $1.00 to $0.30.
The last thing you will have to think of is whether or not you are
going to do a wheelbuild yourself or have it done by a professional at
your lbs.
Building a wheel yourself takes some work and is difficult but this can
save you alot of money if done properly. The hardest part of building a
wheel in my experience is getting it true. If you know how to do it
then you can true it yourself otherwise if you want it done right and
want to save some money then you can lace the wheel yourself and get it
trued by your lbs.
I think that takes care of any loose ends if you have any more
questions then please use the search function or pm me as I think any
form of question you might have can easily be answered in previous
threads.
damn that was long.
