Speaking of which, I can't
find any US suppliers of the Gusset Jury hub. I wanted to build up
another wheel with that and I'm not having any luck. I'll probably have
to concede defeat and get a 48h Spin Doctor hub instead.


A Woodman Bill Extreme will do the same job as the Gusset hub, if it
fits the project budget.


Well it might, but the only place I see one (Unreal Cycles) only stocks
the 36h version. I found a place that has the Spin Doctor for $58, so I
think I'll just pick that up. I already have a rim for it, I just need
to pick up some spokes.

I had the misfortune to crunch up the cassette body of a 48h DiaTech
tandem disc hub, just as DiaTech USA was no longer answering its
calls. It's gone now, with no forwarding address. Rats!


Ugh. I was going to buy those, but the availability was going south
about the same time I was looking.

Yeah, looking at the Woodman site, it appears that they only offer 32h
and 36h. That's weird. But it's not too surprising, considering that
rim manufacturers aren't even making their strongest rims in 48h
anymore.
