Seems like the foundational items are (1) the rear hub and (2) the compatibility to the crankset (chainline, etc.) and (3) new Bottom Bracket compatibility with existing frame's shell.
So far I'm trying to get these questions answered but there has been no response the past week or so from DaVinci. It's likely b/c of the holiday for sure with the hub supplier as they told me so. I'll retry mid-Jan when they return.
HUB:
I have these Questions:
MATERIALS:
- What material is the axle (aluminum, stainless, or steel)?
- Does the freehub have steel splines, or does it have any type of "anti-bite" freehub?
AXLE:
- I'm concerned that the 15mm axle you spec'd won't fit in my dropouts (which are made for 10mm). Any suggestions?
HOLES & SPOKES:
- I saw you replied 40-hole. Is there a 36-hole or 32-hole option?
- Is the hub flange made for standard J-bend spokes?
MISCELLANEOUS:
- Any idea what the hub's Right Flange Offset is in millimeters (drive side)?
- (I'm hoping this will help me verify chainline dimensions).
- On which White Ind model is this hub based (e.g. Racer X, etc.)?
