View Full Version : I.R.O. Hubs? Spirito 03-01-2004, 11:57 PM thinking of building a moderate priced wheelset. saw these listed at Harris Cyclery & they look kinda cool. anyone with opinions/experience on these? http://www.sheldonbrown.com/harris/fixed-hubs.html#iro ciao NYCfixie 03-02-2004, 03:38 AM If you look real close they are all the same but just finished differently. I took my Kogswell frame with my Kogswell hubs to a local shop to compare to a built Van Dessel; except for color they hubs are the same. Tony from IRO freely admits that his are the same as the Kogswell's but he did not spend the extra money to have his company's name laser etched in them like KOgswell did.

Light, smooth,nice part same size spokes front and rear hub. ( as long as you use the same lacing) Mark mtnpat 03-05-2004, 05:26 AM meant this version ... ciao OK, I just received my high flange set in the mail yesterday, direct from Tony. I am new to fixed gear, and of course have not laced or used these yet...BUT, I can say they look as good and solid in person as they do on the web. Really nice pieces. Sorry no "in use" experience, yet. |
