hi everyone im looking for a rear hub to be made into a wheel for my quickbeam. i am currently running it as a 5sp freewheel with clamp on derailer via a cheap 126mm wheel sourced from my lbs. we "respaced" it to about 122mm with slimmer nuts and it works quite well. im convinced i want to keep it this way. so now i want to have a nicer wheel built up to be permanent. the trouble is the paul or phil hubs that fit my needs are about $190. i was hoping to get the whole wheel for around that. any thoughts as to an alternative hub or do any of you out there have a 120mm 5 speed freewheel hub youd sell? i have seen a freewheel hub branded quando in 126mm. they have sealed bearings and sell for around $30. the guy at the lbs said i could change out the freewheel spacer to a 5sp one from a 6sp one and grind of 3mm on each side of the axle and id be right there. it would work out ok too since id have that done before the wheel was built to get the dish right easier. a wheel with that hub and a sun cr18 rim @36 spokes works out to be about $150. that dosent sound too bad to me for a hand built wheel. any thoughts as to the positive/negative ramifications of doing this? thanks for your time joe kelly columbus ohio
