where in the UK can i acquire vallie components? i saw a picture of a vallie fixed hub on the bike porn thread, looked on their web site, emailed them and never received a reply. those hubs look really solid and easy to service. i want one for the fixy i'm about to build for myself, are they availible in the UK, if so where?

i think they are only at stage two prototyping or something, might be a while yet.

think the new goldtecs will be out first. although i'mholding out for vallie, they look tough.

Why not be experimental and get a echo trials hub?

The splined system looks way better than a conventional threaded sprocket & lockring.

How awesome would it be to be able to use a normal spanner on your lockring and not be killing the notches with a slippery hook spanner?

Dont know how theyd work out, but id love someone to buy one and report back!

You can get 116mm, stick some washers on the ends or bend frame.

Fixed trials hubs been around donkeys years, they dont ride fixed though - they have the freewheel on the cranks! Im not entirely sure of the purpose.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

Mention another user by @username

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
