proper singlespeed wheel

[perry]

im sick of buying these ( my last one was a fiver )

fyi all these hubs are made by the same taiwanese company , various companys ( dmr , on one etc ) just put their logo on

stop using cassette hubs and go freewheel with full width flanges

Are you asking or telling us? I hate freewheels. They are prone to dying every week IME and I could never bring myself to fork out for th White Inds. one that is probably very good. Deore hub with solid axle and spacers on the carrier suits me.

The White Industries are very good indeed, I was lucky to get a second hand wheelset with one included for a bargain price a while back and I've had no probs at all with it. Wouldnt pay out for one at full whack though! AC Racing are pretty good too. Other than that they're all pretty crap

For the money I reckon it's still better to go with a decent cog and spacer kit though, especially if converting a geared bike or trying out SS. I quite like the look of those cogs that you can bolt on disc hubs as well but never tried them

Bolt on sprockets are all well and good for fixed but not much use for normal SSing.
