For my Bombadil, I plan to lace up a set of wheels with a derailleured rear and dynamo front hub. I'd appreciate advice, particularly on my rear hub choice.
Planned setup: Rims - 36-hole Velocity Dyad Front hub - Schmidt SON 28 or Shimano dh-3n80 (which I realize I may need to order from Europe for a 36-hole version) Rear hub - Phil Wood Freewheel Touring hub, 135mm width Here's where I could use some advice. I'd prefer an 8-speed over a 9- speed, and would prefer the freewheel hub vs the cassette version (to reduce dish), but am concerned about availability of decent 8-speed freewheels. Has anyone used this setup? I may also consider a 7- speed freewheel, since I believe the cog spacing between the 7 and 8 are the same, and I use an 8-speed bar-end shifter. I currently own a Phil Wood 9-speed cassette disc hub on my Fargo, which is awesome. I'm thinking I can build a stronger wheel with the freewheel touring hub. Advice is much-appreciated... Thanks.
