Don't you want to increase the bracing angle by having them on the inside? I was considering these hubs (as a heavier criterium sprinter ~90kg as they have 24/28 spoke option) but I am dissapointed with their 32mm wide front flange width. e.g. Bitex RAF12 has 39.2mmRichard Georgenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029605594149846388.post-8644840398230049322020-03-02T02:51:24.489+01:002020-03-02T02:51:24.489+01:00Hey Greg, I happen to be in Melbourne and am looki...Hey Greg, I happen to be in Melbourne and am looking for a wheel builder. I'm considering these hubs... and the rims I have are Easton R90SL's. Do you offer a service?

Using 2.5-3mm offset you can super strong and stiff wheel with reasonable 60kg tension on NDR. I usually lace them 2x cross on both sides.

I've built up wheels using the RG2 racing box set 28/28 with DT 520 rims and am about to lace up a 20/24 wheelset using Kinlin TB-20 tubulars. The reason for the relative high weight is using steel axles over aluminium which seems almost universal these days. Apart from this the only negative these hubs have is the poor rear flange ratio. My planned solution is to lace the rear 1x all heads in on drive side and 1x all heads out NDS using bladed spokes to make the cross easier. I'll let you know how that pans out...
