Hub Question
I'm trying to decide on what type of rear hub to get; its either going
to be a Chris King or Phil Wood. I don't currently need the disc type for any reason, in the future, as these hubs are supposed to last "forever", I may. Is there any reason not to purchase a disc compatible hub, excluding the few extra bucks, when building up a new wheel?

But, my riding changed and I now, I have discs front and back and had to get new hubs to do it -- but _FOR ME_, it was a significant improvement and worth it (I managed to get the hubs as presents for my birthday ). SO, I'd get them. Now, I just wish that I'd gotten my Chris King rear hub in 36 hole... David |

Hub Question
Get a Shimano or Campy hub if you want it to last forever. They are going
to be your best bets for spare parts and overall design. On the other hand, if you want something different from the crowd, either one of these will work for you. -Dion "Eric St. Mary" wrote in message ...
