    2nd hand comments, but two of the wrenches at the shop across the
    river use these and swear by them. The quality of build looks to be
    top notch--it's a very handsome bit of kit, and priced very fairly.
    Cartridge bearing, so if you feel like buttering them up, run them
    with some Phil carts.

    i have one. it's pretty radtastic, ultra-premium, etc. not a whole ton
    to say, really. i have 126 and 130 endcaps for it, so i can use it on
    whatever sad old al road frames come along. one cool thing about it is
    that it's light enough not to interfere with getting such projects
    into the kinda goofy-light realm.

    Tom,

    I have built several wheels for customers with this hub. Some are
    regulars who visit the shop often and I've never had any problems
    reported. White Industries products are very well made. You won't go
    wrong with this hub.

    I can only echo the favorable comments by others. It was part of my
    first from scratch wheel build and came out nicely, and is very easy
    on the eyes.

    Before I bought it I sent the manufacturer some technical questions
    and they answered promptly.

    We build a lot of those.
    Solves the 'wrong frame ends' problem elegantly.

    We have built probably about a dozen-15 with great results. The
    stinking bolts holding the axle ends are on too TIGHT!! but otherwise
    a nice hub for vert dropouts.

    A real nice departure from their other 'crappy' road hubs.

    We've sold over a hundred of these bare hubs via our Website, and
    another hundred in built-up wheels, not counting however many we've
    sold directly over the counter in our shop.

    We like 'em a lot! I was riding one myself for quite a while on my
    Rambouillet, with a 15 fixed and 17 freewheel (only actually used the
    freewheel a couple of times though) and a 42 tooth Biopace
    chainwheel.

    http://sheldonbrown.org/rambouillet (scroll down for fixed-gear
    incarnation.)

    Only got rid of it after I acquire my Quickbeam, which made the fixed-
    gear Rambouillet a bit redundant.

    I built a wheel using this hub for my SS/fixed MTB... 16 fixed and
    17/19 White Ind. freewheel. I can use all three cogs with the same
    chain length. There is enough adjustment room in the Cane Creek V-
    brake to use all three cogs with only a minor change in pad position.

    Could not be happier with this hub... well made, smooth spinning, just
    plain nice work.
