It's flip-flop, but from my measurements there's a 4mm difference between the centre-flange dims.

Full spec for the rim is here: tech-mavic.com/tech-mavic/tec­hnical_manual/data/docs/products/2_104.p­df

Okay so I'm starting to discover this isn't as easy as I expected. I've picked myself up a Quando rear hub for my beater (yeah it's shit, but it's cheap) and have a Mavic open Sport rim. Both 32h.

I'm fighting with spoke length. Have been using the calculator at https://leonard.io/edd/ but it needs accurate dimensions of the hubs. I've got as close as I can and it's giving me the following:

Hub My hub, rear
Rim Mavic Open Sport
Spokes 32
Crosses 3
Spoke length left 292.2 mm
Spoke length right 292.8 mm

Now I have no way to tell if this is accurate, and what size to go for. Am I okay picking up a set of 32 spokes in 292?

Does anyone know a source for accurate Quando dimensions? I don't have a part number unfortunately. The PCD of the spoke holes appears to be 62mm.

I'd have snatched that off you if it were 17t. Shame.

The tartybikes site looks great - I love the dB meter. All a bit above budget though for a commuter.

I went with the ACS from Triton and will look at other options (tartybikes or Halo Clickster when it goes pop)

Thanks guys!

Yeah the Triton link may be the best option. Still around half the price of the Halo, which I see as the next cheapest viable solution.

Loud?

So I've been looking for a well prices ACS Crossfire, and ended up emailing Charlie (charliethebikemonger.com) who informs me they are no longer imported into the UK. Looks like my next best option for quality & sound is a Halo Clickster, which is twice the price (not willing to spend out for the WI).

Anyone know of a source for the ACS?

Edit: another option is to get a 16t ACS as he has some still available, but I'm not sure I want to run 46/16 for commuting/town.

A friend pointed me to this website and they seem reasonably priced. I'm after a set of silver single speed wheels for my town bike/commuter. Does anyone rate this company, or have an alternative?

Hi Todd,

I have just started a club in Plymouth! Due to our relative close proximity and virginity to the scene it could be beneficial to begin a relationship between our clubs. Some friendly rivalry maybe? We are very small currently and have not yet managed to organised anything. I have made contact with the council and some local cycle shops/cafés in Plymouth trying to drum up some support/interest so hopefully things will start to kick off soon...

It may be a bit premature, but sometime down the line it could be good to start a South West mini-league and perhaps invite Bristol, Portsmouth etc.?
