Bugger! I was thinking of PKRadman's UKAI wheels for the large hubs on them....................

Never mind, back to the drawing board!

rich

laserlite spec says suntour large flange hubs but most of the ads show low flange hubs and my best mate had one BITD and it came with low flange hubs. so either would be OK

Nice one! I thought they only came with high flange hubs and I've not been able to find any anywhere.

I've got 2 x NOS Suntour low flange hubs still in their sealded bags at home so I'll stick with these. Thanks mate, just saved me £160!

Just gotta find some nice Araya rims to go with the newly chromed frame/bars as mine will look a bit battered in comparison!
