I’ll play. I agree a trailer is a wonderful thing, and I may start using it

with around a thousand feet of climbing) as I test using my Quickbeam as more

Just an FYI, make sure to check thread pitch requirements when pairing cog
and lockring with your hub. Also, different cogs have different thread
widths that can affect lockring engagement. In most cases you will be just

Following this with curiosity, as snow begins to show up once or twice a
week in the forecast!!
Also curious to know what the width and height of the knobbed tire will be
– either the 700c and the 650b version of the knobby from Compass – and how
far out the knobs stick out on different rims.
I'd put the White Industries hub up there in the "pricey" category as well...
The VO is better, but I suppose what I'm looking for is something in the $100
range... You can find good quality Shimano/SRAM stuff all day in that price
range, but Campy is a whole 'nother level, it seems.
--
You re
Hope is another one, but it is not <$100 as required. Miche makes a ton of
Campy compatible stuff, but I don't think ever made a 135mm rear hub.
Wheels Manufacturing makes cassette cog spacers designed to re-space your
Shimano/SRAM cassette on your cheap Shimano hub into Campy spacing.
