  Sooooooo----I finally bought a dynohub (Shimano DH-T670-3N, 6v 3w) for my touring bike. Can't wait to get this on the bike. Can anyone recommend a 36 hole double walled rim? And a reliable wheel builder in SoCal? Thanks. Oh and in case your wondering, it only cost me 7,400 yen right from the factory (I think, the packing list was all greek to me).

  Let your wheel builder pick your rim.

  Courtney M. asked:

  I am looking into getting better wheels (on a limited budget). I was looking at Zipp 60, but the price is a little high, I would like to stay closer to $1000. When looking at reviews I saw posts about Flo 60/90 and Bontrager Aura 5, not really sure about what to look at/get. Anyone have any recommendations? Thank you in advance.

  I have a FLo 90, and like it a lot, but have also done many races with a wheelcover over my low profile aluminum rim wheels. That option also works very well and is really cheap (approx $100 for a cover from wheelbuilder.com). The cover is easy to install and gives your rear wheel the aerodynamic performance of a disc. Look at the second picture in the wheelbuilder gallery here and you'll see a pic of my wheel. http://www.wheelbuilder.com/gallery.php?gallery_cat=6 Highly recommended as really a great return on investment.

  Ideas for new rear hub, 2011 Raleigh Rush Hour Recently discovered that I cannot get a replacement fixed cog for the stock splined hub on my Rush Hour. Raleigh sourced the hub before ascertaining whether it would be supported, and I haven't been able to get a replacement, including from Raleigh. So, the existing cog is pretty worn, and I'm thinking about my options. I would ideally like to use the existing rim, because it's solid and will match the front. So I'm thinking about replacement hubs. I would love to do something like a Phil or White Industries, but don't think I have the money. I'm just looking for any ideas or thoughts or experiences rebuilding a wheel, and any recommendations or reviews of available hubs. Anyone have experience with the Surly hubs? Thoughts on where to find inexpensive replacement parts? Best place to source new spokes? Thanks in advance for any help you can give!

  Surly or All City hubs are pretty good, never had a problem with the hubs themselves. Locknuts have split in half pretty often, but that's an easy fix. Of course, the nicer Phil/White Industries/Paul Comp hubs will be much superior, but that doesn't mean you can't bomb around on a cheaper hub. If you did want to get new spokes, go to [wheelbuilder.com](http://www.wheelbuilder.com/dt-champion-straight-gauge-spoke.html) and you can order any spoke length. DT Swiss champion 14 gauge spokes are pretty standard for strong wheel build where weight isn't really a concern.
