theyre good hubs if you treat them right. i blew up the innards of it last year (long story, brake cable got all monged up, had to footbrake on srs offroad downhills halfway thru a century ride far from home) but SA has great customer service. i contacted them, told them upfront that i bought the hub secondhand (from a forum user here) and they still sent me a replacement cartridge and shifter for nothing.
my only complaint is that they have quite a bit of resistance in the cable pull, maybe ill try some high quality housing/cable next time

Nyah, nyah.
i broke one spoke but he was so kind as to include extras, other than they they havent even needed truing and i put these things through absolute hell
im considering building a second set with the bigger drum front and the SA 8 speed freewheel in the back to use my tricolor stuff that i got for $25

Man, sorry about various hassles with the S3X wheel...

those were the only 2 issues really, id hardly consider it a hassle. i love these wheels and i might try and thread on a freewheel and see how that goes
once its set up and other things dont break which cause me to forcibly mistreat the hub, it gives me no trouble and asks nothing from me, im happy with my purchase
as far as the spoke goes, rooty and rocky singletrack, curb hops, seriously gnar potholes, im surprised i havent broken more, lol.

I finished this a couple weeks ago, but finally had some sun for a few pics. More in the Townie thread if you are interested.

don't worry about purists. i see it as a modern twist via thorough touches of retro. not pure, but considerate enough.

Thanks. The bar I pretty narrow there, just enough room for my hands if I wrapped them like that. I did that because I was tired of holding metal when riding into a headwind. I kinda like how weird it looks. I think I'm going to wrap my othe nerd bike's bars now.

my new toy, just deciding on going duraace or gran compe pro on the hubs. and either panaracers pt's or the vittorias for the gumwall tires. i have vit's on the bk and love em but 70 bucks a tire is a little oomph.
the cambium bar tape is a few shades lighter than the matching saddle but still will compliment the bike i think.

My honey tape was a different shade and a bit lighter than my saddle too. I just keep rubbing my dirty hands on the bars to help speed up the matching process.
Shimano is a must on that bike, for sure..
