CYCLOCROSS FIXED WHEELSET

Today I set out build a fixed cyclocross wheelset with bladed spokes. I called Velocity USA and they told me that they had a nice gold slotted or keyholed track hubset with sealed bearings. Also got these digi camo rims. All put together with st bladed spokes, 282mm, three cross front and rear. I must note that these powdercoated rims can be hard to true. As the thick powdercoating can be up to 2mm thick or .10mm thick in different spots on the rims edge. This makes the rim seem untrue on one side while the other is true. The solution was to true higher up on the rim, then mount a tire and life got easier. These are up for sale on EBAY.

PHIL WOOD TO H PLUS SON 2X

Today I built some sweet white Phil Wood hubs to h+son formation face rims. I used red spokes in a 2 cross lacing pattern front and rear. Front spokes are 257mm and the rear is 256mm for the drive side and 258mm for the non drive side. Rumor has it that Phil is going to come out with a special edition 1950's style track hub, maybe gold plated....

WHITE GREEN DEEP V TO WHITE PHILS

Today I built some lime green deep v's to white phil wood hubs. The front is radial lacing pattern and the spokes are 258mm long. The rear is three cross, and the spokes measure 280mm on the drive side and 281mm. A white Zafiro and Rando finishes off this set nicelly.

First off, I am against mixing Italian and Japanese parts but, if your paying for it, I'll build it. Here is a set of dura ace high flange track hubs built to Campagnolo Atlanta rims. They look good for spaghetti and sushi.
