This strange behaviour got me to thinking, I've got an old steel roadie in the garage with those much sought after horizontal dropouts, and a rear triangle that was brazed together when five speed freewheels were plentiful, that's been quietly gathering dust since I bu

Instead of getting a new road bike this fall I am getting myself a kick bum pair of wheels built up for my current road bike. I am looking for recommendations on hubs and I consider the desired traits I value the same as I do for mountain wheels. In my view here are my qualifications in order:

1. smoothness of the bearings
2. durability of the hub overall
3. strength of the axel
4. light weight

Written by derbobman

Could anyone devise a simple test to demonstrate the difference in rolling resistance between hubs?

A friend adamantly argues that Hub A will definitely allow faster speeds than Hub B for the same power. I say that for properly adjusted cup and cone hubs, the differences are so tiny that they are overwhelmed not only by aerodynamic effects (bike and rider) but probably also by RR differences bet
