If it was a M i'd have already been over to grab it. Best of luck with it!

This is an unbelievable deal. Any reason why he never even got it out the box, bit strange to ignore a purchase like this.

Fantastic - he looks just the ticket.

Thank you - will drop them a line.

Thanks both - I think i'll go with the Zenith for it's wide availability and common use.
I did also call a wheel builder to explain the project I'm trying to do, and they were very pessimistic about starting with what is a road rim (in their words: designed for the road hub it's built onto) and then trying to lace onto a track hub. They said the angles of the nipple holes drilled into the rim might not marry up perfectly with the angles of the holes in the new hub.
I didn't realise their could be so many intricacies involved here, either way, they didn't say it couldn't be done, I might just have to keep calling round a few builders to get their opinion.
Anyone done this before? (Road rim to track hub)

Circling back on this - I'd rather not break the bank on this hub, have found two options: DT Swiss or Zenith.

Thoughts?

Hi all,
I'm going to be adding a front brake in the not too distant future - the forks have a pre-existing hole, but I'm being a bit precious about the inevitable bite/paint chip that can occur where the brake clamps to the fork.
Can a rubber washer/seal be put in between so the fork hole stays presentable for when a brake isn't on?
Thanks.
SE LDN.
