Hi - after the Canondale love-in at Paul's Cycles has anyone replaced the stock wheels that came with the lefty forks? If so what did you get and from where?

Have seen Chris King do a compatible hub but would like to consider more wallet friendly options.

The original Lefty hub is a cheap, reliable and fairly low weight.

Project 321 make some fancier lighter weight hubs.

IIRC Tune do too but they start to get pricy.

Lefty 2.0/supermax is a different standard to original lefty hubs. You can use an original standard hub (I think) on a lefty 2.0 but you need an offset brake adaptor. You can't use a lefty 2.0 hub on an old lefty.

Sorry folk. 650b and Supermax, rather than the original.

Those stans look rather tasty at a good price!although I need an axle rear as well.I'll give them a bell
