Ideally singlespeed. Or has anyone tried the 2 speed Sturmey Archer or SRAM Automatix hubs???

flashes - I literally finished building up a velosteel hub last night for my commuter. The OLN is 120mm, but there's enough axle to space it out to 135mm and still have room for locknuts.

I assume a 10mm axle will fit your drop outs though.

BTW you can get it on eBay from Practical Cycles free P&P.

here's a post build pic. I went for the dished sprocket so that I can tweak the chainline a bit. As you can see there's loads of thread beyond the OLN.

Not sure when I'll first get to use it as I have to take it in to London to fit to the ratbike at Paddington and I'm not sure when Im next going in. Poss a week or so.
