Solid deal on VO 126mm freewheel hubs
I just ordered one-a-dese.
The previous version of Velo Orange's 126 mm freewheel rear hub. Seems like the only difference is the older "Grand Cru" logo on the shell, vs. the current screen-printed "Velo Orange." $45 vice $77 for the new ones. No fronts, so you'll have to be OK with the slight mismatch if you want a pair. 36H only.
This will be used in the wheelset for the 650B conversion of my League Fuji, hopefully to be completed by the end of the year. Current thinking is VO hubs, 36 spokes, butted spokes, (maybe Sapim D-Lights?), Velocity A23s with offset rear. Going for "sensibly light and sensibly strong."
Anywho, if you need a 126 freewheel rear hub, this is a pretty solid deal. Will update with real pix when it arrives.
