Ugh, so many standards. Might have to flick Mr Benson an email today. I couldn't find much on the google last night, but I was also slightly impaired.

What's wrong with standard BSA or Italian threaded, dammit!?

And are the bearings the same as normal Ultra-torque bearings or are they specific to the Over-torque cups?

I don't know about the Campagnolo parts, but I know that FSA make an adapter for a 386 EVO shell to work with UltraTorque cranks, Wide Open has this item in stock

Does this look like the Revolution hub that will convert from 20mm to 9mm qr?

Easy money surely, when you raking in the big AUD clamz

Affordable yes, but a bit inappropriate for my $850 commuter bicycle :huh:

Was thinking more the $250-300/set mark.

I would have thought for around that money you'd get an okay builder to lace a Shimano hub into a set of Velocity A23 rims, odds on will ride better and last longer than many prebuilts

happybaboon · *by **happybaboon** on Sat 9/Aug/14 8:25pm*

Yeah? I'll have to ask. That seems cheap to me :huh:

I could be off the mark price wise, but I'd still avoid a low end pre-built if possible

wachtourak · *by **wachtourak** on Sat 9/Aug/14 9:34pm*

If your current hubs are six bolt and in good condition/useful for your purpose you could just use those as well, and like PBR says, to Velocity A23's or a Mavic A319 (or A719 if the budget allows, welded join etc instead of pinned)

I'd say that's closer to a $700 build, but I could be wildly over-charging. :huh:
