I have no convincing explanation as to why I prefer bolt-on wheels over quick release. I've never heard a story of a QR failure. I've never had mechanical issues with QR myself. I just like bolts... I like how they look, I like to feel them tighten, I like their elemental mechanical simplicity. Sure, I have bikes with QR wheels and there's even a QR seat post clamp on one bike in my stable, but I go with bolts where possible.
I'm looking for a set of hubs for my AHH. My fantasy hubs would be high flange with cut-outs, a cassette rear (135mm) and bolts. I could be swayed to a freewheel if the bolts, high flange and cut-outs are there. I've found several suitable options for the front but the rear is proving to be more difficult to track down. I emailed Rich at RBWHQ to ask about a bolt conversion for their Phil "Rivy" hubs, but no such conversion exists. Hope has a bolt kit for their rear hubs. But it's set up for disc brakes. I could leave the disc off but don't really want to spend that kind of money for a hub that isn't what I want... I've found several other options that aren't quite what I want for less money than a Hope. I'm wondering if anyone on the list either has a suitable set of hubs (or even just a rear) they'd like to sell or if anyone knows of a currently available hub that meets the above criteria.
