I'm using an 8 speed SA hub with a drum brake (on an '80s Fuji mountain bike), and it seems to be well built, no problems so far. Haven't built the Duomatic wheel yet, but the level of finish seems comparable to the 8 speed. Bobby Birmingham, who posts frequently to this group, seems to have extensive experience with modern SA hubs. montclairbob...@gmail.com

I'm considering the freewheel version. This is available I think. Does anyone have experience with the newer SA ones? Comments of their quality would be very helpful. I imagine it could get a little expensive having a wheel built up around one of these instead of buying a budget single speed wheelset from Riv...so, I want to know what I'm getting into. I do love the idea of kicking back to engage a 2nd gear, but something about it seems precarious / tricky. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
