Rims and hubs and headset all here. Well chuffed with the hubs, Novatec are lovely and very cheap compared to most, considering Novatec likely manufacture most of them. £30 for the front £40 for the rear.

Needs to be a competition to see who can pull the longest skid on that and with that ratio

It may be ugly but I bet it is fast.

Yeah the Razesa build proved frustrating as I was waiting on decals and rims so it have been kicked down the road for a while, probably look to complete it for the spring.
The Steamroller continues. I bought some cheap rims off Planet X, Pacenti 28h for the front and some WTB 32h for the rear. Briefly considered cannabalising existing wheelset but settled on this double-fixed Novatec for the rear and this front Novatec disc hub.
Going to get the wheels built up by local wheelbuilders and planing on using WTB 47mm Byways. To start with I will just lacquer the Orlowski fork and maybe after the winter get the whole thing resprayed. Still on the outlook for a Chris King headset for it.

Cheers, only just getting started!.
Just picked up a pair of 650b Pacenti rims, thinking of cannibalising the rear Surly (what is the best way to take apart a wheel?) but need a front hub, thinking Novatec D791SB like these however I am out of the loop when it comes to modern MTB kit: it doesn't come with a axle, I would like track bolt-style axle for it, not QR, what should I be buying for it?
I also noticed corrosion on the Crane Creek headset so I may bling it up with a Chris King is anyone has one for sellz.
