There have been some threads on the iBob list and the BL list over the last couple months. My recollection is that they seem to be decent quality, but no one has claimed they are at the same level as the Schmidt SON hub. I do find it humorous that the Shimano site shows the hub built up on a 24 spoke wheel. -- Jim Edgar cyclofi...@earthlink.net Cyclofiend Bicycle Photo Galleries - http://www.cyclofiend.com Current Classics - Cross Bikes Singlespeed - Working Bikes The Gallery needs your photos!
