The Wright Brothers Cycles wheelbuilding class in Fremont is fast approaching, and I haven't decided on hubs for my wheels. New or used? Expensive or inexpensive? Servicable or disposable bearings? There's 6 choices already. Then, consider if the bike should be all serviceable bearings, or if it could have serviceable wheels and a non-serviceable bottom bracket? I have Shimano Ultegra hubs with serviceable cup-and-cone bearings, and I like those. The Campagnolo BB I just bought from a guy on Craigslist would make the bike's bearings all serviceable, but mixing Shimano and Campagnolo? That's not the orderly setup I need. Is this telling me something about myself? This is what obsession looks like.
