Hi Everyone
I'm looking for any feedback on Velocity Road hubs I can find!
I'm looking at building a wheelset, At the moment I ride Ultegra Hubs
with Velocity Razor rims 32 Spoke 3X back and 2X front, looking to stay
around the 32 Spoke as I'm a heavy rider 105Kg Are velocity hubs as
good as Ultegra? What hubs are as good as Ultegra or better? Can I drop
to 28 spoke rear with out problems? Hoping for some help


Sorry for the lame question but what would you be looking for in a good
hub?

I normally ride a crappy old road bike (40yo design? and it's very very
sick at the moment and I need to get my hands on a 7-speed rear
derailleur) so I don't know very much about freewheel hubs (I am
assuming the Ultegra is a freewheel?).


Want am I looking for.
well good free roller, Reliable hub, Price not important as I have had my
ultegra hubs 10 years that make them 6 dollars a year each. and I guess
now a cartridge bearing
