IRD released an updated FW design they are calling Classica and they are
still closing out their earlier design Defiant at around $33 a FW. It'll
be a while before I build the wheel up so I'm not in a rush. I'd be happy
to help someone clean out their garage to finish this project though!

The secondary risk is that when freewheel hubs first stretched to 130mm

yeah, this is really interesting. i dont need a wheel built or anything,
but this hub seems like something nice to have around in case. i dont know
anything about this sort of adjustable axle. can anyone testify to
potential downsides of this design?

Interesting. As in the 1980's I often could bend "oversized" solid

dropouts. Then it was purely the metal quality. Cro-mo versus mild
steel.
As to Campy, only have a passing knowledge of the brand. My actual
ownership has been limited

Wondered that myself. Probably has something to do with the unique
design requirements. There should not be any problems with fitting a
121 hub on a 120 bike anyway.
I certainly have no need for these hubs at the moment. They are
fascinating and I am som

I think the reason why you haven't had a problem with your Phil Wood
fw hub is because of the oversized axle used by Phil. Like Campy

I don't know if it's solely about the "over locknut" dimension.
Except for most Shimano cassette hubs, all other cassette hubs also
have the right side bearings (that supports the hub body) very close
to the centerline of the axle.
Shimano has a patent on attaching the hub body to the freehub and
Why start at 121 spacing and not 120?
If 130 and 135 are options then it isn't a question of that extra mm
used to get to 126mm from 125.

Back in the 1980's (before the big layoff from cycling) used to
regularly bend and/or break rear freewheel hub axles. Usually low

was about 190. My low tech solution - replace the cones and axles
with nutted solid axles. Cro-m

Yes. So admittedly I am not the best person to talk about run of the
mill FW hubs as MaxiCar are head and shoulders above the rest when it
comes to longevity. Still, I accept that in the day there were plenty
of hollow axle hubs

It's keeping the rim centered between the dropouts and in plane with front wheel

Yes, if you are especially assiduous about your chainline.for me
it would be relatively easy to go from say 121 to 126 with an
adjustment of the derailers.

Although, you have a point about rim position.OTOH, re-dish is
quicker than rebuild with different hub

Yeah thanks. Cause everyone knows in the 40 years or so that
freewheel hubs were the default cyclists couldn't go half a mile with
a broken axle. Sheesh!
I have been looking into them a bit. if you look at the parts pile
here:

it appears that these, while flexible in spacing, have different left

cheap, you have almost infinate flexibil
