Im currently running some retro hubs in some 29er rims and im finding the wheels very flexy, would some newer hubs with bigger hub flanges help?
they might do but by the time you change hubs and spokes you might as well get a new set of wheels with a burlier rim too?
ime, complete wheels seem to cost less than the sum of their parts if you get them from Merlin etc.
Yes,,I think. Money no option build? Use the e13 dh hubs with the massive flange so you use normal/26" spikes but on a 29er rim
Well the hubs have had their time and served me well for 10 years so its time for a change anyway, i hear you on complete wheels but there is something about riding on a pair of wheels you have built yourself.
I love that idea about something with HUGE flanges but i think will stick with something a bit more conventional, anything will be an improvement over my old retro hubs.
