First there was only the Paul Whub to chose from for my wide forks. Now Phil Wood is also making a 135mm front hub with wide and equal flange spacing.
It has very large flanges, 84.5mm.
Wheel strength and stiffness is greatly improved with the wide and equal flange spacing. I don’t think I will ever taco a wheel again like I sometimes would with a normal 100mm hub that has narrow and unequal flange spacing.
I hope this catches on. It’s nice being able to use such light spokes, nipples and rims but still end up with an incredibly strong wheel.
