Wondered that myself. Probably has something to do with the unique
design requirements. There should not be any problems with fitting a
121 hub on a 120 bike anyway.
I certainly have no need for these hubs at the moment. They are

I have my IQ Cyo mounted the same way Benedikt has, on the front of
the Nitto mini front (and in front of a wald medium basket too). It
works fab there, might not be the most sheltered though.

I have a mount attached to the front axle so that I can simply swap in
my dynohub wheel and light when I'm planning a night ride. Forget the
source...was it VO?

Thanks! My first thought for attaching the Cyo was to try Benedikt's
simple solution of attachment via the provided bracket to the hole at
the front of the mini-rack. There is a lot to be said for
simplicity. It's simple and the price is right! However, it seems

Actually, USPS does charge extra by distance, including the 49th and
50th states.
At one point, the USPS did not use zones in their shipping charges. But
for a few years now, zones are part of the pricing.

They do charge by distance, but it's very size dependent. On small

Interesting. As in the 1980's I often could bend "oversized" solid
axles. As in the ones with flats on two sides to fit in the
dropouts. Then it was purely the metal quality. Cro-mo versus mild
steel.
As to Campy, only have a passing knowledge of the brand. My actual
